You might also want to look at this as well


if ( FileExists ( "filename" ) )
DeleteFile ( "filename");

Just to avoid errors....

Also there there is

TDateTime fdt = FileDateToDateTime ( FileAge ( "filename") );
This would also give you date and time properties for the file you want to delete etc....

Regards
