Program

using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
	class Program
	{
		static void Main()
		{
			//method to delete file
			File.Delete("123.TXT");
			//confirmation message
			Console.WriteLine("File deleted successfully");
		}
	}
}

    File deleted successfully

Note: In above program, we need to remember, when we use "File" class, System.IO namespace must be included in the program. An exception is not thrown if the specified file does not exist.
