Deleting HDF5 file contents #5

Closed grimbough closed 6 years ago

grimbough commented 6 years ago

There is no explicit way to delete datasets (or anything else) within an HDF5 file. You can overwrite parts using h5write() and the index argument, but this isn't supported for compound datasets.

Reported by Donald Harby (https://support.bioconductor.org/p/104619/)

Support for H5LDelete and a higher-level h5delete have been added in 17605f5, but need more testing before being added to the main branch.
