- Try '(new File(datname)).delete()'. - If that does not work check if the value of datname is correct. - If it is check if you can delete the file manually. If not than that file has been opened from your application and can't be deleted til closed on a windows system (linux does not care about these things). - If that does not help too, check if the user account tomcat is running under is allowed to delete that file (see security tab).
