Another possibility is that the Java process that is trying to delete the
file may not have the right permissions to do so. The method 'delete()'
will generate a 'SecurityException' if it encounters a problem during file
deletion, so you may want to enclose the 'delete()' logic in a try-catch
block to see if you're getting such an error and print out either the error
message string or a stack trace to help you find out what could be wrong.

Subject: Re: File Deletion----not working
Make sure the file exists on the system before you do the delete. My guess
is the path name isn't complete.
Try:
if (file.exists())
file.delete();
else
// debug("file "+ file.getAbsolutePath()+" doesn't exist");
