Ok ... I will tell you but you MUST BE CAREFUL ....
There is a potential for serious consequenses if you are not.

Code: [Select]

FileSystem.Kill "DriveLetterFullPathFileNameFileExtension"


It accepts wildcards "*" and "?" to specify multiple files.

For example ... this will delete ALL files in the root folder, so please don't try it ...
Code: [Select]

FileSystem.Kill "C:\\*.*"

Cheers...
If all goes as planned, there should be no errors.  Fingers are always crossed though.

Just make sure to verify the filename BEFORE you tell it to delete...
