How do I delete a local file in Windows Phone 7.1

Hi How do I delete a local file in my application after copying it to the IsolatedStorage?

I want to delete only the file in local folder. Not in the Isolated Storage. I'm using WP 7.1.

Windows Phone is designed to be one of the most secure environments in the mobile market. If you look at many of the standards it enforces you will see that this is a consistent theme.

For example:

  • Your app does not have the ability to intercept calls or text messages (though the library exists)
  • Your app cannot modify hardware buttons (there is a few MINOR exceptions to this rule like manipulating the back button event)
  • Your app cannot access memory locations outside of the Isolated Storage it is assigned by the phone.

These standards are put in place to protect the user from malicious software and to keep a clean and consistent feel across the environment.

You don't have write access to the folder where your application is installed. It's therefore impossible to delete the file.
