i try to delete all file in the directory then i use

file delete {$allsheet}

but it cannot delete all the file.

Here is mycode

set contents [glob -nocomplain *.txt]
set x [llength $contents]
puts $x
while {$x > 0} {
set contents [glob -nocomplain $file *.txt]
foreach item $contents {
#puts $ite
set allsheet [list $item]
#puts $allsheet
}
file delete {$allsheet}
puts "x is $x"
set x [expr {$x - 1}]
}

file delete {$alllist}

can i do like this if i want to delete all the file in the directory

To delete all *.txt files you can try

file delete {*}[glob *.txt]

To delete a list of files:

file delete {*}[list "f.txt" "f1.txt"]

or

set myfiles [list "f.txt" "f1.txt"]
file delete {*}[eval list $myfiles]

i got my code works.

the \ followed by a 3-digit octal number will be represented by Tcl as the corresponding character. o040 is space.
