Write a program in C# Sharp to remove a file from the disk.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System; // Importing the System namespace
using System.IO; // Importing the System.IO namespace for file operations
using System.Text; // Importing the System.Text namespace for encoding

class filexercise1 // Declaring a class named filexercise1
{
    public static void Main() // Declaring the Main method
    {
        string fileName = @"mytest.txt"; // Initializing a string variable with the file name

        // Displaying a message to remove a file from the disk
        Console.Write("\n\n Remove a file from the disk (at first create the file ) :\n");
        Console.Write("--------------------------------------------------------------\n");

        // Check if the file exists
        if (File.Exists(fileName))
        {
            // If the file exists, delete it
            File.Delete(fileName);
            Console.WriteLine(" The file {0} deleted successfully.\n\n", fileName); // Displaying a message indicating successful file deletion
        }
        else
        {
            // If the file does not exist, display a message
            Console.WriteLine(" File does not exist");
            Console.ReadKey(); // Waits for a key press before exiting
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

Remove a file from the disk (at first create the file ) :                                                    
--------------------------------------------------------------                                                
 File does not exist
