I cannot delete the world folder??

I am working on a minigame and need to delete the last world folder and paste a new one in every time it restarts. I load the plugin before the worlds get loaded, but I get denied access to the world folder, even though it is not loaded. I have made sure it is possible to access.

This is the error I get:

Code:

java.io.FileNotFoundException: world (Access is denied)

 

Do you have administrator privileges? Is this on a hosted server?

 

It is on Windows where we don't have stupid file perms and yes I do have admin privileges.

 

Hmm. I don't really know whether Craftbukkit has code to prevent this, so I can't help you, sorry.

 

Hmm, if you were on linux (most dedicated hostings have servers on linux) you could try dispatching

Code:

rm -rf <pathToWorldFolder>

but on windows there is no other way i think.

But if you are on windows we need to think a bit.

How about having that arena (or something that has to be reset) in a schematic file inside a jar and manipulate world object?

 

Perhaps you can't delete it because it's being used by the server..? Like try editing a file that another program has open in read only mode.

 

OHQCraft i was able to delete the world onLoad or onDisable i cant remeber, but it would regenerate a new one perfect for hg/sg, i even had it hooked up to terraincontrol.
