Deletes a file.

Syntax

Kill fileName

Elements

fileName

A string expression whose value is a file name; wildcards are not allowed. fileName can contain a drive indicator and path information.

Use Kill with care. If you delete a file with the Kill statement, you can't restore it with LotusScript statements or operating system commands. Make sure the file is closed before you attempt to delete it.

Kill deletes files, not directories. To remove directories, use the RmDir statement.
