Of course you can't delete a resource within the online project.
Did you try the code e. g. as Admin within the offline project?
Create a JSP, insert your code and call the page as Admin in the offline
project.

An alternative is to create a new offline project, switch to the new
project, delete the files and publish the newly created project.

Well, yes, with OpenCms 5.3.6. With 5.0.1 I only had some code that
locked some resources, touched and published them, and it worked.
