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();
 
    	}
 
    }
}
