    The groovy script for your goal is following:

     

    def f = new File('//server/path/test.txt')

if (f.exists()) {
	f.delete()
}

    You can use Javascript as well. SoapUI is a bit tricky with changing the scripting language. When I change from Groovy to Javascript (on project level), I can use Javascript. When I switch back to Groovy, the script is still executed as Javascript. 

     

    I had to close the test case editor and reload the project. Then the script is executed by the language which is set on the project.

Thanks KarelHusa. The code snippet you've provided works for me great.

 

For some strange reason, after setting the language to JavaScript  and even after existing SoapUI then reloading it. I could not run the JavaScript.  the funny thing is the same code run OK a few days ago.!!!

Thanks again, mpourali
