Subject: Re: Delete files in a directory

require 'fileutils'

def delete(filename)
  Dir["#{File.dirname(filename)}/*"].each do |file|
    next if File.basename(file) == File.basename(filename)
    FileUtils.rm_rf file, :noop => true, :verbose => true
  end
end

USAGE:

delete 'path/to/file1'

Bye.
Andrea
