Can someone help with script to delete Epg database. This is what I have so far, but its not deleting:

Code:

import xbmc, xbmcgui
import os, sys, urllib, datetime, time, shutil, re


EPGDB = xbmc.translatePath('special://home/userdata/Database/Epg12.db')
def delete_file(EPGDB):
    if os.path.exists(EPGDB):
        os.remove(EPGDB)

Any reason why you don't use the "Clear guidedata" option in Kodi's LiveTV section?

So,  I tried that and Epg12.db is still in database folder. Can you give me pointers on how to do it via script?

Thanks

Using "reset/clear" removes DB entries and does not delete the file... Why would you need to manually delete the files? Kodi DB's are file locked while in use.
