You can use Function Module "GUI_DELETE_FILE". There is one issue with this function module, whether successful or not the function module raises the error condition.

Thanks

Hi,

You can also use the FILE_DELETE method of the class CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.

Hi,

If you are in ECC 5.0, please try this FM <b>UBC_FILE_DELETE</b>.

or you can use

CALL METHOD cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_delete
    EXPORTING
      filename           = l_filename
    CHANGING
      rc                 = l_rc
    EXCEPTIONS
      file_delete_failed = 1
      cntl_error         = 2
      OTHERS             = 3.

Hope this will help.
