BOOL DeleteFile(

    LPCTSTR lpFileName 

// pointer to name of file to delete

   );

Parameters

lpFileName
Points to a null-terminated string that specifies the file to be deleted.

Return Values

If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.

If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call GetLastError.

Remarks

If an application attempts to delete a file that does not exist, the DeleteFile function fails.

Windows 95: The DeleteFile function deletes a file even if it is open for normal I/O or as a memory-mapped file. To prevent loss of data, close files before attempting to delete them.

Windows NT: The DeleteFile function fails if an application attempts to delete a file that is open for normal I/O or as a memory-mapped file.

To close an open file, use the CloseHandle function.
