Does this answer your question? [How to delete a file or folder?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6996603/how-to-delete-a-file-or-folder) — Random Davis, Sep 23 '20 at 16:22
I mean in my case I uploading big file. How i know when my upload file has been success then I will delete that file in my local machine. — potitit, Sep 23 '20 at 17:07
So your actual question isn't how to delete a file, it's how to know if uploading is done. If file deletion has nothing to do with your question, then don't mention it, since it's obviously confusing everyone. — Random Davis, Sep 23 '20 at 17:24
