File f=new File("MyFile.txt");
if (f.exists())
f.delete();
You can also use delete() to delete a directory if the
directory is empty.
If you want to remove the data from the file without
deleting the file, create a FileWriter to the file.
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f);
The file will now be empty! When you create the
FileWriter object, you have to catch IOException.
