The TestCapability always returns FALSE. If I call DeleteLayer anyway I

I am using GDAL 1.5.3 with Visual Studio 2005.
Is there an error in my code or a different way to delete a shapefile
using GDAL or do I have to go to the operating system and find all of
the files that make up the shapefile and delete them that way?
Bruce,
It looks like the DeleteLayer support for the shapefile driver was added
for 1.6.0. So you need to either upgrade or perhaps just delete the files
yourself with unlink(). Make sure the datasource is closed when you do so.
Best regards,
