Deleting bytes via RandomAccessFile possible?

There are quite a few threads in the forums discussing RandomAccessFile, but none seem to have the answer to this.

I want to modify an app I've written so that any changes made to the file are immediately written to the storage device.

Obviously I can write bytes into the file without issue, using RandomAccessFile. But is there any way I can delete bytes from the file?

I've scoured the other java.io classes, and can't find the functionality elsewhere.

Actually, thinking about it I'll have to rewrite the entire rest of the file anyway each time I insert bytes into the file, so I suppose deleting isn't an issue. I wish I'd realised this before I posted!
