Hi,

I have created a file in my VB.NET program, now at the end, I want to delete
that file again. How can I do this (I have in my variable 'textbestand'
where the file is located)

Thanks
Joris

Joris,

Have a look at the file class. Be sure that you have closed the file before
you use that.

I hope this helps,

Cor

Thanks!
I was looking @ system.io.delete of something, didn't think there had to be
file in it to.
