I am Unable To Delete Image File From My Server Path It Gaves Error That The Process Cannot Access The File “FileName” Because it is being Used By Another Process. I Tried Many Methods But Still All In Vain. Please Help me Out in This Issue.

There’s your problem, you didn’t call imgPhoto.Dispose() first. The file is locked until the finalizer thread runs, that can take a while.
Use the using statement to avoid mistakes like this.
