    post your program. DeleteFile() does NOT work with wild-cards, for it will fail if you give it the filename "*.xyz". To do that, you need to use FindFirstFile() and FindNextFile() then DeleteFile() for each filename it returns (don't attempt to delete directories/folders).

    Yet another "It doesn't work post" without any sign of what was actually attempted or even that it was attempted at all....

    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
