#File.Delete

##Syntax File.Delete (filePathName : string)

##Description File.Delete is used to delete the file specified by the parameter filePathName. This is the equivalent of doing a del in DOS or rm in UNIX.

##Details If the File.Delete call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.

##Example This program deletes the file called information.

    File.Delete ("information")
    if Error.Last = eNoError then
        put "File delete"
    else
        put "Did not delete the file."
        put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
    end if

##Execute An example program is available that creates a file in the current directory, and then deletes the file using File.Delete.

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling File.Delete, not by calling File.
