Thread: FIle Won't Delete

Hello, I"m trying to delete a text file but to no avail.

Here is the code

File myFile = new File("test.txt");
Scanner input = new Scanner(myFile);
String oldText = "";
while(inputOld.hasNextLine())
{
oldText = oldText + inputOld.nextLine();
}
input.close();
myFile.delete();

File is still there when I look. Path is correct, and the weird thing is if I create a new File in the code and point it an existing file without using scanners I can delete it.

Example is:

File myFile = new File("test.txt");
myFile.delete()

and that works... So my assumption is that because the file is being used by program I cannot delete it. How can I force my program to stop using the file since .close() method appears to not be working...

I found the solution, input was not being closed in another method while reading the file. Thanks for the help, it had me confused for a while.
