You can delete a file or a directory using the following code protected void lbtnremove1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { string imgname=Image1.jpg; try { File.Delete(Server.MapPath(../PropertyImages/12/ + imgname)); File.Delete(Server.MapPath(../PropertyImages/12/+ imgname)); } catch (Exception ex) { lblMsg.Text = ex.Message.ToString(); } } U can either delete a root directory too by using the following code: protected void lbtnremove1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { string imgname=Image1.jpg; try { Directory.Delete(Server.MapPath(../PropertyImages/12)); Directory.Delete(Server.MapPath(../PropertyImages/12)); } catch (Exception ex) { lblMsg.Text = ex.Message.ToString(); } } Please accept this answer if u get satisfied Cheers Arumugam

Hi Pinky I tried my best to give you a descriptive answer. If you find it useful please do accept my answer. Let's say you added a form called Form1. Then you dragged two buttons naemd button1(Open button) and button2(delete button). You added events for the click events of those buttons as follows. For button1 : button1_Click For button2 : button2_Click Then you added event for form load event. Form1_Load Then you dragged a listbox named listBox1. Then you can use my code to do the rest. using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.ComponentModel; using System.Data; using System.Drawing; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using System.IO; namespace WindowsFormsApplication3 { public partial class Form1 : Form { string path = C:\images ; public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); } private void button1_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { try { //Save images OpenFileDialog openFileDialog1 = new OpenFileDialog (); openFileDialog1.Filter = Image files (*.jpg)|*.jpg ; openFileDialog1.FilterIndex = 1; openFileDialog1.RestoreDirectory = true ; string sourceFile =  ; if (openFileDialog1.ShowDialog() == DialogResult .OK) { sourceFile = openFileDialog1.FileName; } else { return ; } string filename = Path .GetFileName(sourceFile); //Let's say you want to add images to 'C:\images' folder. string file = string .Format( {1}\{0}  filename path); File .Copy(sourceFile file); listBox1.Items.Add(filename); MessageBox .Show( Image saved ); } catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox .Show( string .Format( Error! {0}  ex.Message)); } } private void button2_Click( object sender EventArgs e) { try { if (listBox1.Items.Count == 0) { MessageBox .Show( No images ); return ; } if (listBox1.SelectedIndex == -1) { MessageBox .Show( No Image selected ); return ; } string filename = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString(); string file = string .Format( {1}\{0}  filename path); if ( File .Exists(file)) { File .Delete(file); listBox1.Items.Remove(filename); MessageBox .Show( Image deleted ); } else MessageBox .Show( File not found ); } catch ( Exception ex) { MessageBox .Show( string .Format( Error! {0}  ex.Message)); } } private void Form1_Load( object sender EventArgs e) { try { string [] files = Directory .GetFiles(path); foreach ( string file in files) { string filename = Path .GetFileName(file); listBox1.Items.Add(filename); } } catch ( Exception ex) { } } } } Please accept my answer if it helps you.
