File.Delete(string path) method will work I think.

Basically, you can just call the static delete method on the file class.

System.IO.File.Delete(@"C:\Documents and Settings\Vijay.EKO-03\Desktop\blockseek3-9-2010\Block3.xml");

Have you tried this??? I think it will solve your problems:

FileInfo i = new FileInfo("PATH TO YOUR FILE"); i.Delete();

Remeber to add:

using System.IO;
