Hi,

I am currently using .Net framework 3.5 and in that I am making use of

C#

using Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Office.Core;

By the help of code I am fetching xls sheet 'A' and making some modifications and saving it as 'B' in the same folder. Now, xls sheet 'A' is waste for me. How can I delete it ?
I tried using worksheet.delete() but it generated a exception saying file should be unhidden first etc etc. Can any of you please help me to achieve the same thing. ?
I will be highly thankful to you.

Try this. I assumed that xls is in root folder. Change path according to your location.
Close the file if it is open.

C#

string path = Server.MapPath("MyTest.xls");
 FileInfo fi1 = new FileInfo(path);
if(fi1.Exists)
 fi1.Delete();
