What's the problem, System.IO.File.Delete? Here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.delete.aspx[^]. Keep in sync with the database where you store the file names.

Find the file in and if it exist then delete it as:

C#

filename= AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "/images/Photos/" + file;
if (File.Exists(filename))
                           File.Delete(filename);

try this

C#

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo("c:/inetpub/root/Images");
FileInfo[] rgFiles = di.GetFiles("*.aspx");
foreach(FileInfo fi in rgFiles)
{
 File.Delete(fi);// Delete the files here
}
