ASP DeleteMethod
Complete File Object Reference
The Delete method deletes the specified file or folder.
Note:If the specified file or folder does not exist, an error occurs. The Delete method used for folders with content is no different from that used for folders without content. Regardless of content, the specified folder is deleted. The result of applying the Delete method to a File or Folder is identical to the operation performed using FileSystemObject.DeleteFile or FileSystemObject.DeleteFolder.
