#10036 closed enhancement
Add "deleting" a file or path via guestcontrol — at Initial Version

Description
Guest control currently allows coping files to/from a guest, and creating directories, but no direct command for deleting them.
Current work around is executing a command to delete. Comes up often with importing a debian system and the NIC changing MACs, but forgetting to configure extra interfaces for eth1+ since eth0 is tied to the original MAC. Still want a new mac when cloning a template install.
VBoxManage guestcontrol "My VM" exec /bin/rm --username root --password ____ -- /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Suggested syntax
VBoxManage guestcontroll <vmname>|<uuid>
rm|remove|del|delete
<full path to resource/file/directory>
--username <name> --password <password>
[--dryrun] [--recursive] [--verbose]
Basically the same syntax as copyfrom and copyto
