Hi As u said u are also stoing the image name. also bind the image name in one column and make that invisible. and on deletion access the image name as u access any other value like EmpIDNameAddressCityEmp_Image. i hope u are getting the point. Happy Coding!!

To delete an image physically from a folder use File.Delete(YourImageNameWithFullPath).

Hi As u r storing the image name in the database then it is very simple to delete from the image folder. for that first u have to check that image exists or not. U can do this by this way. Dim Image As FileInfo = New FileInfo(Server.MapPath( give the Url Of the Image )) If Image.Exists Then Image.Delete() Else ErrorMessage End If or try this File.Delete(Server.MapPath( Folder Path ) + / +  Image Name )
