See the java.io.File class.
It has the functionality you need:
* delete()
* getAbsolutePath() (i.e., get the file name)
* lastModified() (i.e., get the date the file was last modified)
FYI - with lastModified(), it doesn't give you back a Date object, but a
long. You can then use this long to create a Date (i.e., new
Date(lastModified)).
HTH.
