Description

Deletes a specified file.

Syntax

object.DeleteFile ( filespec[, force] );

The DeleteFile method syntax has these parts:

Part	Description
object	Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.
filespec	The name of the file to delete. The filespec can contain wildcard characters in the last path component.
force	Optional. Boolean value that is true if files with the read-only attribute set are to be deleted; false (default) if they are not.

Remarks

An error occurs if no matching files are found. The DeleteFile method stops on the first error it encounters. No attempt is made to roll back or undo any changes that were made before an error occurred.
