Delete

Lastly, to delete a file in Java, use the File class method delete(). The method will return true if the file was deleted successfully, or false if failed:

File file = new File("data.txt"); 
if (file.delete()) { 
	System.out.println("Deleted the file!");
} else {
	System.out.println("Failed to delete the file.");
}

The above code attempts to delete the file named "data.txt".
