SSJS - delete statement problem with java.io.File

Subject: SSJS - delete statement problem with java.io.File

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Designer on Eclipse (DDE)

Technical Area: Error Message

Platform: Not Applicable

Release: 8.5.1

Reproducible: Always

I came across a bug in the DDE compiler for SSJS.
When trying to use the Java class "java.io.File" to access files on disk
and delete them the code can't compile:

var file:java.io.File = new java.io.File(filePath);
file.delete();

The "delete" keyword is not recognized:

Expected " "delete" "delete"" at line
Was expecting:
<IDENTIFIER>....

My question:
1) Is there another way to delete files on disk with XPages? I probably don't
know the class... or is there a workaround?

My current solution:
1) Writing an agent (LS,JAVA) and calling it from SSJS.
