Removing an Image from Server

[GavW]

Hey all!

Was wondering if anybody could help me with this problem. I have managed to implement my image upload feature, offering a user the ability to replace their profile image.

The only problem is that all of the old images still remain on the server and worse still if a user wishes to change back to the image they were using previously then an entirely new file is uploaded with a different name.

The tutorial that I have used to perform the uploads is at:

http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/netimageupload.asp

could anybody help me add to this script to include functionality to remove an image before a new one is uploaded.

Thanks

You can delete a file with the File.Delete method:

Thanks for the help.

I am having a bit of trouble with the File.Delete method however. I am attempting to delete a file situated inside of the "/images/photos/" directory from the root directory but I am receiving this error:

"Could not find a part of the path 'c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\forum\images\photos\file.jpg'."

Clearly the method is looking in the wrong location for the "/images/photos/" folder. How can I get it to point at the correct location?

Thanks

What is the code you are using?

 

[GavW]

File.Delete("/images/photos/file.jpg");

I will replace the string with a variable as soon as I can get it working.

User Server.Mappath to get the path and then append the filename.
