cdaly33: your code will cause issues:
string[] files = IO.Directory.GetFiles("path with files to delete");

Gives the error:
Cannot convert source type System.IO.FileInfo[ ] to target type string[ ]

As I understand user needs to have rights to delete. Just in case.

The folder with the files in it needs to have Full Permission granted to NETWORK_SERVICE

string[] files = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\temp");
foreach (string file in files)
