Delete data in a text file

Hi.
I have a .txt file with some data in it. I'm trying to delete it's content,
but I can't quite figure out how.
This is my code so far:

streamWriter = New StreamWriter(fileStream, System.Text.Encoding.Default)
streamWriter.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin)
streamWriter.Write("")
streamWriter.Flush()

Thanks,
Shawn

fileStream.SetLength(0) did the trick :-)
