No nonsense, just issue the File.delete() to delete a file, it will return a boolean value to indicate the delete operation status; true if the file is deleted; false if failed.
Example
In this example, it will delete a log file named “c:\\logfile20100131.log”.
package com.mkyong.file; import java.io.File; public class DeleteFileExample { public static void main(String[] args) { try{ File file = new File("c:\\logfile20100131.log"); if(file.delete()){ System.out.println(file.getName() + " is deleted!"); }else{ System.out.println("Delete operation is failed."); } }catch(Exception e){ e.printStackTrace(); } } }
