Hi ,

In this tutorial you will know how to DELETE a file without sending the file to the recycle bin .Very quick and easy .
Basically , most people use the "My.computer.filesystem.delete(fie)"
But that code only send the file to the recycle bin. :( That's bad .

------Tutorial Starts---------------

By using KILL command in Visual basic 2008 , you can delete the file without sending it into recycle bin .

As usual , open up "Visual Basic 2008" > "Create a Project" > Paste a button on top of the form .
Double click on the button then paste in this code .

Code: Select all

Kill("c:\....Your file directory")

Debug and the file will not show up in the recycle bin and been permanently deleted .
------Tutorial Ends--------------------------
Isn't that FAST ?
lol , Hope you like it ! Cheers

Hello,
I think this isnt the recomended way of doing it but there is another way also
My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile("c://me/me.exe" ,FileIO.UIOption.OnlyErrorDialogs, FileIO.RecycleOption.DeletePermanently)
