Solution 1

DeleteFile works with absolute paths.

Maybe you should post the code you used if you used remove() to take a look at it.

Solution 2

The remove function should work equally well with an absolute path. Perhaps your path specification is not correct. Remeber that you have to specify backslashes as double-backslashes in a strings!

If in doubt show us the code you are using, so we can have a look at it.
