How can we delete oldest file present in a folder in visual basic

Answer 1

Find the oldest file in something in the following way (change the directory name accordingly)

var oldestFile = FastDirectoryEnumerator.EnumerateFiles(@"c:\windows\system32")
        .OrderBy(f => f.CreationTime).First();

or

var oldestFile2 = new DirectoryInfo(@"c:\windows\system32").GetFiles()
    .OrderBy(f => f.CreationTime).First();

Now delete the file using the method Amit suggested i.e. DeleteFile (you may need to add directory name to make it absolute path)

Answer 2

Use the DeleteFile method to delete the file. The following code demonstrates how to delete the file named test.txt.

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile("C:\test.txt")
