VBScript » FileSystemObject » DeleteFile
Version: 2.0
- Syntax:
- object.DeleteFile file [,force]
- force
- The optional force parameter accepts a Boolean value - True allows files with read-only attributes to be deleted, while False (default) does not. Trying to delete a read-only file without setting force to True will return an error.
- file
- Receives a string containing the name of the file that will be deleted.
This method deletes a specified file or files (using wilcards).
Note that an error occurs if you try to delete a file that doesn't exist.
Examples
Code:
<%
dim filesys
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
filesys.CreateTextFile("c:\somefile.txt", True
If filesys.FileExists("c:\somefile.txt") Then
filesys.DeleteFile "c:\somefile.txt"
Response.Write("File deleted")
End If
%>Output:
"File deleted"
