If you want in a different directory same thing as above but add the path to the file like thid...<br />
DeleteFile('C:\windows\des<wbr />ktop\vik.t<wbr />xt');<br />
that's only for deleting one file at a time..if you need to delete a whole directory then you need to use the TSHFileOpStruct that is declared in the ShellAPI...<br />
