This is exceptionally simple thing to do. Create one Windows Forms Application. Put a text box a small button called Browse next to it. On click of Browse open File / Folder dialogue box built in control with several properties explore a bit. Do not allow to select file just folder. Put a CheckedList box control somewhere below. Iterate through each file in selected folder with the help of DirectoryInfo object. Iterate through each item in checked list box on click of Delete button if checkbox is checked then delete the file. File name you already stored in items. Use FileInfo for delete. Include System.IO namespace and you are pretty much done. While testing the application please create your own folders with dummy files otherwise you will land-up deleting you actual files. As a best practice ask question before deleting each file Are you sure you want to delete {filenamehere}?
