Hello,
I am a beginner.
1) How can i delete houdini files in the directory.
Whenever i click “-” to delete files it always prompt “select a directory”
Can any one help me?
2) How can i open houdini files directly from a portable driver without copying them to my HD.
Hope these are not dumb questions.
Steve

open a textport and type:
help unix
but more importantly, why do you want to delete files using Houdini?
on a mac (I don't have one with me but…) you could try opening File > Open, then in the list of Houdini files, select one and hit the delete key - I /think/ the mac will delete this file (send to trash)…
but again - this is silly…
if you want to clean up old file etc there are better ways…

I ‘d like to delete H files whenever i need after i open new in Houdini.
I think it’s more convenient to me since i have saved bunch of Hip files including sequence files. It's easier for me to identify needless h files i saved previously. But, once i open new h files there is no way to delete any one i want to. Can you help me how i can i delete hip files in houdini.

again I'm not sure you need/want to use Houdini to delete files - finder or the shell are much better for this task
something you might want to do is create a project directory structure
something like this:
/somewhere/houdini_projects
/hip
/geo
/pic
etc
this way you can have your hip files in one directory that is easy to view and manage and everything else in there own directories…
