ASP DeleteFile Method

The ASP DeleteFile Method is used to delete one or more files from the server. It returns an error if we want to delete a non-existing file. 

Syntax:

FileSystemObject.DeleteFile(filename[,force])

Parameter Values:

• filename: It specifies the name of the file which you want to delete.
• force: It is an optional attribute. It contains a Boolean value which indicates that whether a read-only file will be deleted or not.  It set to true means that the read-only file will be deleted. False represents that the file will not be deleted.

Example: Below example demonstrates the DeleteFile Method. 

ASP

<%
dim fs
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
if fs.FileExists("c:\pictures\a.txt") then
response.write("Exist file ")
 fs.DeleteFile("c:\pictures\a.txt")
 response.write("is Deleted")
end if
set fs=nothing
%>

Output:

Exist file is Deleted
