Java Delete File

To delete a file in Java, you can use the File class along with the delete() method. Here's how you can delete a file:

import java.io.File;

public class DeleteFileExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Specify the file path
        String filePath = "example.txt";

        // Create a File object
        File file = new File(filePath);

        // Check if the file exists
        if (file.exists()) {
            // Delete the file
            if (file.delete()) {
                System.out.println("File deleted successfully!");
            } else {
                System.out.println("Failed to delete the file.");
            }
        } else {
            System.out.println("File does not exist.");
        }
    }
}

In this example:

• We create a File object with the desired file path.
• We check if the file exists using the exists() method.
• If the file exists, we attempt to delete it using the delete() method.
• If the deletion is successful, we print a success message. Otherwise, we print a failure message.
