FileIO's delete() command only works on a file that's already been opened.
Try placing an openFile() command above the delete() command.
You'll also want to place some error checking in there using fileIO's
status() and error() methods. One good reference for fileIO methods can be
found here:

(It's still up to date for D8 AFAIK).
