<% ' declare variables dim fso, ourFile ' set the filename to delete ourFile = "Filename.txt" ' this deletes the file Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.DeleteFile(ourFile) set fso = nothing ' clean up %>

PHP

<?php // this is the file to delete // we assume it exists $ourFile = "Filename.txt"; // now we delete it unlink($ourFile); ?>
