fileref
-
specifies the fileref that is assigned to
the external file or directory. The fileref cannot be associated with a list
of concatenated filenames or directories. If the fileref is associated with
a directory, the directory must be empty. You must have permission to delete
the file. Under Windows, fileref can be an environment
variable. The fileref or the environment variable that you specify must be
enclosed in quotation marks.
FDELETE returns 0 if the operation was
successful, and a non-zero number if it was not successful.
