One way - just do the <CFFILE ACTION="Delete"> but put a CFTRY/CFCATCH
round it to trap the error in case the file doesn't exist.

Subject: Checking and deleting files
Can someone help me on checking for and then deleting a file?
I need to check to see if the file 'output.xls' exists and then if it does
delete it. Currently I use following but seems to be rather crude:
<CFFILE ACTION="Write" FILE="d:\templates\output.xls" Output="Contents">
<CFFILE ACTION="Delete"FILE="d:\templates\output.xls">
