Try the `unlink` line from the U&L StackExchange link above.
(three-line backup code: `spurt` file to backup copy, `unlink` original,
`copy` backup to original path location):
`unlink("/path/to/original.txt".IO) if"/path/to/original_bak.txt".IO

Hi Bill.
Thank you for the recommendation!

I have fixed the issue with my second attempt.
