VB.Net: deleting a file
From Wiki
Very simple when using system.IO
put it in a try catch block because this can backfire in a winows environment. in linux you can just delete everything without it complaining ;-).
- Imports System.IO
- Module Module1
- Sub Main()
- Try
- File.Delete("c:/file.txt")
- Catch ex As Exception
- Console.WriteLine("the file could not be deleted for the following reason:" & ex.Message)
- End Try
- End Sub
- End Module
