How to make sure if a file is downloaded successfully

In my project, I want to download file and this file will be deleted after download.

I had set async:false in first ajax to confirm that downloading file is finish.

 //this is download file code:
 $.ajax({
        dataType:'json',
        type:'POST',
        async: false,
        data:{files:files},
        url:'oat.php',
        success:function(data){
            delFile=data.name;
            alert(delFile);
            window.location=delFile;
        }
    });

    //this is delete file code:
    $.ajax({
           type:'POST',
           data:{delFile:delFile},
           url:'delFileoat.php',
           success:function(data){
            }
        });

But unlucky, delete is always before download as it needs time to download, but deleting file just for a second.

So I always get messages about "can not find file in server".

Is there a return value for window.location=delFile after downloading file successfully?

async: false is deprecated. You can delete your file in success callback. like below

$.ajax({
  dataType: 'json',
  type: 'POST',
  data: {
    files: files
  },
  url: 'oat.php',
  success: function(data) {
    // do your stuff
    $.ajax({
      type: 'POST',
      data: {
        delFile: delFile
      },
      url: 'delFileoat.php',
      success: function(data) {}
    });
  }
});
