# FileDelete

Deletes one or more files.

FileDelete, FilePattern

#### Parameters

FilePattern | The name of a single file or a wildcard pattern such as C:\Temp\*.tmp. FilePattern is assumed to be in %A_WorkingDir% if an absolute path isn't specified. To remove an entire folder, along with all its sub-folders and files, use FileRemoveDir.

#### ErrorLevel

ErrorLevel is set to the number of files that failed to be deleted (if any) or 0 otherwise. Deleting a wildcard pattern such as *.tmp is considered a success even if it does not match any files; thus ErrorLevel is set to 0.

#### Remarks

To delete a read-only file, first remove the read-only attribute. For example: FileSetAttrib, -R, C:\My File.txt
