Benjamin, from my documents select the file you want to delete and hit
delete on the key board to send it to the recycle bin, if you want to bypass
the recycle bin do shift and delete, is this what you want or did I miss
under stand the question?

If the excel worksheet is not open use this.

Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFso.DeleteFile ("c:\test.xls")

Why not use the built in VBA commands

Kill filename

Yes, that would be more efficient.

Kill ("C:\test.xls")

But it sounds like a brutal command.

In VBE help, search for the 'Kill statement'.

Kill YourFileName
