Interestingly enough, those two commands don't necessarily do the same
thing, even if your Windows version worked.
To fix that, you probably need to put "cmd /c" in front of the "del"
command since you want the command shell to execute the del command.
But the del command deletes a file. If that's a directory, it will
error. The Linux command rm when used with the -r switch will
recursively remove a directory and its contents. The -f switch
suppresses any errors or warnings (and could be combined to "rm -rf").
If in fact the item you're attempting to delete is a file and not a
directory, why not simply do it internally in Java? Create a
java.io.File object representing it and call its delete() method.
