Kill command in Lotusscript faces Path/file access error with Arabic file name

‘Kill’ command in Lotusscript faces " Path/file access error" when the file name contains Arabic letters.

I found this issue mentioned in older forums, but no surgical solution.

What is the best practice to deal with Kill and commands with similar behavior?

Subject: try

Writing the delete commands to a batch file and at the end of the code run the batch file using a shell command.

Subject: On UTF-16 file names, I try to use the “Shell.Application” object.

which … =sigh=, probably doesn’t work the same in 64bit, does it. smh.

That’s gonna be unpleasant.
