You need to be more specific - we can't read your mind :)
How would your application be able to identify which files were just uploaded?
Do you upload the files with an FTP-Client that you wrote yourself? Or with an FTP-Client that you got from somewhere? Or is the application you mention here the FTP-Client?

I gave the file name of system_name+system_time.

Then simply use Directory.GetFiles method to get a list and File.Delete with each file.

One way to organize the file delete option is as soon as your file upload is completed, since you still have local file path, Use

C#

File.Delete("FilePath")

. That should pretty Much take care of the issue.
