deleting files from the hard drive

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to either delete files from the hard drive from within a max patch or delete an entire folder from within a max patch? I think I've heard of an MXJ that does this but I can't seem to find it.

I found the MXJ I was thinking of! Sorry to ask too soon... but I still am interested in other ways of doing this.

Have a look at [fscopy] included in the new release of Jasch objects. It only works on OSX but you can copy, rename, replace and delete files and folders with it, however they are permanently deleted rather than moved to "Trash" so be careful!
