Just delete in a try/catch block :

C#

...       
          foreach (string FileFullName in fileList)
          {
              try
              {
               System.IO.File.Delete(FileFullName);   
              }
              catch {}
          }

Thanks for reply,

But it will be deleted all of the existing file if they are use in process like (if file open or in a other process).
Plz revise my code.

Thanks

If the file is opened by someone else then you will get an exception and it won't delete that file.
