I'm doing something stupid !, I must be because this throws no exception, but does not delete the file which "is" there. Amy ideas ?

Try
System.IO.File.Delete("c:\test.txt")

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show("An error occured :" & ex.Message)

End Try

How about this:

If System.IO.File.Exists(file) Then

Try
System.IO.File.Delete("c:\test.txt")

Catch ex As Exception

MessageBox.Show("An error occured :" & ex.Message)

End Try

End If

Hi OHM:

I see nothing wrong with this - it worked for me exactly as you have coded it. Could the file be in use? Is some funny attribute set? Try it on a different file.

HTH,

Can't reprodcue it. Here the file is deleted. (Framework 1.1)
 
I was right, I was doing something stupid. I had named the file test.txt, but the system had added the .txt extension, so the real file name was

test.txt.txt

Greeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrr <big time embarresed>

Are you sure the file exists?
