Delete a file from a mapped drive using a Windows.Form application

Hello all,

I have an application that is accessing files from a mapped drive. I
have full access to the share that is mapped and from explorer can
delete files as I need. My application needs to be able to delete files
once the are processed, but using File.Delete does not seem to be
deleting them. What is the correct way of deleting files from a network
drive in Windows.Form application?
Regards,
David

File.Delete should work.
So you should probably post the exception you are getting, and the line
of code it is occuring on.
