Can't delete a file from code

My function (Swift):   

KCSFileStore.deleteFile(fileId, completionBlock:
            {
                (count, errorOrNil) -> Void in
                
                slotOneBusy = false
                numOfBusySlots -= 1
                
                if errorOrNil == nil
                {
                    idsOfDeletedFiles.append(fileId)
                    print("\nFile successfully deleted! (One)\n")
                }
                else
                {
                    print("\nError deleting file:")
                    print("\(errorOrNil!)\n")
                }
            }
        )

Hi Pranav, sorry the delay. I've already solved the problem: if you set file as globally writable when you save it, then anyone can delete it.

Nissi,

Are you trying to delete the file using the same account as the owner of the file (user who uploaded the file)?

Thanks,
Pranav
