Question

The following trivial code is just an example that does not reflect my real scenario.
I have tried it and it did not work.

I want to delete data.txt using Process rather than using File class.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;

namespace Tester
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Process p = new Process();
            p.StartInfo.FileName = "cmd";
            p.StartInfo.Arguments = "del data.txt";
            p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute=false;
            p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
            p.Exited += (sender, e) => { Console.WriteLine("Finished"); };

            p.Start();
            p.WaitForExit();
        }
    }
}

How to execute del data.txt using Process?

Answer 1

You need to add the “/C” argument to the process.

p.StartInfo.Arguments = "/C del data.txt";
