With questions like these you might get a faster response from the community by posting in the Processing forum. That said, I looked into the code and I believe what's going on is that the version of createRecorder that you are using results in a "streaming" recording being created that records directly to a file that is opened when the recorder is created. The only way to close that file stream is to call save() on the recorder (and you'll also want to call close() on the recording returned from save(). So you'd need to do that before deleting the file. This code is not well written (my fault) and lots of people have had issues with it over the years. Another option would be to use the version of createRecorder that takes a boolean buffered argument. If buffered is true, then you'll get back a recorder that records into an in-memory array and doesn't actually write to disk until you call save(). So, in that case, if you discard the recorder without ever saving, you won't wind up with open file handles or extra files on disk that you want to delete. But this buffered version may not be appropriate if you are making longer recordings. In particular, the longer that you record, the slower it gets, which is why the streaming version is the default. -- You are receiving this because you authored the thread.
