You can delete a file using the DeleteFile method of the My.Computer.FileSystem object. Among the options it provides are whether the deleted file should be sent to the Recycle Bin, whether the user should be asked to confirm the deletion, and what to do if the user cancels the operation.
To delete the file, use the DeleteFile method with showUI set to AllDialogs. The code below shows how to delete the file test.txt while also allowing the user to confirm that the file should be removed.
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(“C:\test.txt”,
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs,
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.RecycleOption.DeletePermanently,
Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.UICancelOption.DoNothing)
To delete a file, use the DeleteFile method with the recycling parameter set to SendToRecycleBin. The following code shows how to remove the test.txt file and send it to the Recycle Bin.
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(“C:\test.txt”, Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.UIOption.AllDialogs, Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.RecycleOption.SendToRecycleBin)
