FileIF.delete_

Deletes a file. If the file is a directory, it will only be deleted if it is empty. This has the same semantics as g_unlink().

If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
