Description

The DELETE FILE command deletes the specified file, <filename> . If no directory specification is present in the <filename>, then the file is deleted from the current directory. The filename can be substituted with a <expC>, enclosed in round brackets, which returns a valid filename. The DELETE FILE command does not follow the directory search path specified with the SET PATH command. On OpenVMS, all versions of the file will be deleted.
