Your code should be as below :

FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filename);
file.Delete();

The Delete method of FileInfo object does not take any arguments.

You are creating an instance of FileInfo having a filename as an arguement. Method file.Delete() will remove the file which you passed through a constructor. In fact, the argument of constructor must be an absolute path along with filename.

String filename=@"c:\xyz\aa.txt";
FileInfo file=new FileInfo(filename);
file.Delete();

The method Delete of FileInfo does not accept any parameter, so you need to write your code like this:

FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filename); 
file.Delete();

try this 

   if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
            {
                System.IO.FileInfo info = new System.IO.FileInfo(path);
                System.IO.File.SetAttributes(info.FullName,     
                                       System.IO.FileAttributes.Normal);
                System.IO.File.Delete(info.FullName);
            }

Your use of FileInfo.Delete takes no arguments.

You want something like:

FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filename); 
file.Delete();
