public void DeleteFileFromFolder(string StrFilename)
{

    string strPhysicalFolder = Server.MapPath("..\\");

    string strFileFullPath = strPhysicalFolder + StrFilename;

    if (IO.File.Exists(strFileFullPath)) {
        IO.File.Delete(strFileFullPath);
    }

}

In order to delete a file you must ensure that the account has sufficient permissions. In general ASP.NET applications run under limited permission account such as Network Service. For example if your application runs under IIS 6 you could go to the Administration Console and set a custom account in the application pool properties:

alt text http://i.msdn.microsoft.com/Bb969101.SharePoint_SQL_TshootingFig3%28en-US,SQL.90%29.jpg

You need to ensure that the account is member of the IIS_WPG group.

Make sure the ASP user has permissions to this folder. By default this user is not given access to much of the harddrive..
