Share the code you have written.

Further, you get any error while deleting?

String strPath = Server.MapPath("filename");

System.IO.File.Delete(strPath);

This will delete from folder..
And if you store the path in sqlserver then delete the path with delete coment.

Hope this can help you.

If you have a file in a database and in a file system at the same time, it would be a huge mistake. What do you mean "file in database"? Just a path name of it? That it's OK. The problem would be a lack of transactional behavior.

Just a note.

I don't know what you mean by the application folder, but if it is a regular folder on your hard drive just use:

File.Delete()

And to delete a record from the database, just use the following SQL statement:

SQL

delete from "tablewithpdfs"

where "columnname" = "pdfname"
