Hi Siva,

A Little more specific detail would lead us in giving you the apt solution.

i.e What folder is it? Where is it situated, What info you want to delete?

Hmmm…

Seems question is how to delete some files programmatically, and, according to tags added, it is about Axapta - then this thread should be moved to corresponding forum.

P.RAM, please confirm is it as I suggest, and further on be more detailed in your questions, plus, choose the right forum, that will speed up getting answers [:)]

Hi Ram,

Pseudo code below -

int handle;
FileName fileName;
;

[handle, fileName] = winAPI::findFirstFile(<folder path + pattern >); //E - “C:\Users\Test\*.csv”

while (fileName)
{
winAPI:CloseHandle(handle)
winAPI::deleteFile(fileName)
}

Best wishes,
