If you want to delete Realm's files

let manager = NSFileManager.defaultManager()
let realmPath = Realm.Configuration.defaultConfiguration.path as! NSString
let realmPaths = [
  realmPath as String,
  realmPath.stringByAppendingPathExtension("lock")!,
  realmPath.stringByAppendingPathExtension("log_a")!,
  realmPath.stringByAppendingPathExtension("log_b")!,
  realmPath.stringByAppendingPathExtension("note")!
]
for path in realmPaths {
  do {
    try manager.removeItemAtPath(path)
  } catch {
    // handle error
  }
}

From Realm's official documentation:
https://realm.io/docs/swift/latest/#deleting-realm-files

Best thing to do is to call deleteAll() method on realm object like:

let realm = try! Realm()

try! realm.write {
  realm.deleteAll()
}
