FileSystem.Kill vs. File.Delete
VB.NET: Howto Add And Delete Files

Way to go Alex3410!  That saved me a lot of time.  I had trouble getting a file to go away.  If you use File.Delete(fname) you must make sure another process is not using it.  Otherwise you can use FileSystem.Kill(fname) which will just go ahead and delete the file.

I didn’t realize that there is a kill function for files. I see that this is a carryover from VB6 and is generally frowned upon in .NET (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.visualbasic.filesystem.kill.aspx). The MSDN article also states that the kill functions requires Read and PathDiscovery flags of FileIOPermissions.

For better understandable code I would still use the System.IO.FileInfo methods discussed earlier.

    HI,     This is a very old & well-known bug in Visual Studio 2003 and I hear it's been recitifed
