$myFile = "testFile.txt";

$fh = fopen($myFile, 'w') or die("can't open file");

fclose($fh);



Now to delete testFile.txt we simply run a PHP script that is located in the same directory. Unlink just needs to know the name of the file to start working its destructive magic.



$myFile = "testFile.txt";

unlink($myFile);



The testFile.txt should now be removed.
