Question

I want to delete a file that may or may not exist. I write

try { File.Delete(temp); } catch { }

Is there an easier way? Also I realize this ignores other exceptions as well but i dont care in this case.

Answer 1

No need for the try catch block to handle a non-existant file. The File.Delete method does not throw an exception if the file does not exist. From MSDN:

If the file to be deleted does not
exist, no exception is thrown.
