Well, there really isn't a vector equivalent of envi_file_mng. Here's something that could work. Let's say you have an EVF file called "test.evf", which is currently open and has an evf_id. To remove and delete it, you could try the following: ;Close the EVF file envi_evf_close, evf_id ;String path to file you want to delete (the same string you used when you originally created the file ;using ENVI_EVF_DEFINE_INIT). I'm hard-coding it here, but it might already be a string variable. evf_file = 'c:\test_folder\test.evf' ;Create a string path for the associated DBF file--if there is one dbf_path = file_dirname(evf_file, /mark_directory) dbf_base = file_basename(evf_file, '.evf') dbf_file = dbf_path+dbf_base+'.dbf' ;Delete the EVF and DBF files file_delete, evf_file file_delete, dbf_file You can ignore the path building stuff and the file_delete for the DBF if you only have an EVF file. In that case, skip right to file_delete, evf_file.
