Hello,

I am trying to delete a file on the system partition from an UEFI app using
the Delete function within EFI_FILE_PROTOCOL, but it is returning with
a EFI_WARN_DELETE_FAILURE.

I can read the file without any problem, but delete doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

Here is the code:
    // get the handle for EFI Simple File System protocol
    status = gBS->LocateDevicePath (
                  &gEfiSimpleFileSystemProtocolGuid,
                  &ourDevicePath,
                  &handle
                  );
    if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
        return (status);
    }

    // get the pointer for the volume
    status = gBS->HandleProtocol (
                  handle,
                  &gEfiSimpleFileSystemProtocolGuid,
                  &volume
                  );
    if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
        return (status);
    }

    // Open the root directory of the volume
    root = NULL;
    status = volume->OpenVolume (
                     volume,
                     &root
                     );
    if ((status != EFI_SUCCESS) || (root == NULL)) {
        return (status);
    }

    // Open file.txt file
    status = root->Open (
                   root,
                   file,
                   L"\\EFI\\BOOT\\FILE.TXT",
                   EFI_FILE_MODE_READ | EFI_FILE_MODE_WRITE |
EFI_FILE_MODE_CREATE,
                   0
                   );
    if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
        return (status);
    }

    // Delete the file
    status = (*file)->Delete (*file);
    if (status != EFI_SUCCESS) {
        Print (L"Deletion failed, status = %d.\n",
               status);
        return (status);
    }

Thanks.
