Answer 1

To delete a file you uploaded all you need is its filepath, and use File.Delete("filepath"); To know which file to delete your Delete action should take an id:

Delete(int id)

Then in your action link pass the BugAttachmentID: (using route values/parameters)

<%:Html.ActionLink("Delete", "Delete", new { @FileName = Emp.FileName }, new { id = Emp.BugAttachmentID })%>

Then in your delete method you use the ID to find the file in the FileList you want to delete. And then call File.Delete using the attachment url.

I hope this helps.
