Use the unlink() function

Edit: after reading your post again I’m not sure I understood. Did you mean to delete the zip file or the resulting folder containing all the extracted files? If the the latter then you would first need to loop through that directory and use unlink to delete all of the files then use rmdir() to delete the directory
