Delete file from script w/o os.remove()?

As AP’s Lua does not have os available, is there a way to remove a file on the SD card from a lua script (i.e. one that was created by the same script with io.open() )? The less-preferred alternative is to open and truncate the file at the start, leaving a file size of 0.

In the meantime there is a LUA-binding (see docs.lua):

--desc
---@param filename string
function remove(filename) end
