Hi,

hmm, I tried the following but it does not seem to work (dataset is never 
found).

        String directory = DBpath.concat("/" + datasetID);
        Location loc = Location.mem(directory);
        boolean isbacked = loc.exists();
        if (isbacked) {
            log.debug("=> Found dataset to be deleted.");
        } else {
            log.debug("=> dataset to be deleted not found.");
        }

Maybe it's the way I initialize the Location?

BTW, how does one remove a dataset from a TDB store?
I didn't see a dedicated API call for this.

Cheers,
Hubert
