</div>

it works

public\_dir = File.join(RAILS\_ROOT, “public/images”)  
dir = File.join( public\_dir, “#{new\_property.id}”)  
FileUtils.mkpath(dir) unless File.exists?(dir)

it not

public\_dir = File.join(RAILS\_ROOT, “public/images”)  
folder = “118”  
dir = File.join( public\_dir, “#{folder}”)  
File.unlink(dir)

its not the same ?

I got error

Is a directory -  
/home/maugustyniak/workspace/new\_bjbpartners/public/…/config/…/public/images/118
