It is actually not empty. It's just a mistake in the docs I think. Try this:

// perhaps after deleting a record from the database, you also want to delete
// an associated file
public function afterDelete() {
    $file = new File($this->info['SomeModel']['file_path']);
    $file->delete();
}

I agree, but the docs are little bit unclear:

// perhaps after deleting a record from the database, you also want to delete
// an associated file
public function afterDelete() {
    $file = new File($this->data['SomeModel']['file_path']);
    $file->delete();
}

you have to store the file name in variable before delete operation.
