The method Delete of FileInfo does not accept any parameter, so you need to write your code like this:
FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filename);
file.Delete();

You are creating an instance of FileInfo having a filename as an arguement. Method file.Delete() will remove the file which you passed through a constructor. In fact, the argument of constructor must be an absolute path along with filename.
String filename=@"c:\xyz\aa.txt";
FileInfo file=new FileInfo(filename);
file.Delete();

Same answer with difference of 8 seconds :)
Your use of FileInfo.Delete takes no arguments.
You want something like:
FileInfo file = new FileInfo(filename);
file.Delete();

@Surya sasidhar: You know you can accept his answer if it resolve your problem. It is just the way StackOverflow works...
try this
if (System.IO.File.Exists(path))
{
System.IO.FileInfo info = new System.IO.FileInfo(path);
System.IO.File.SetAttributes(info.FullName,
System.IO.FileAttributes.Normal);
System.IO.File.Delete(info.FullName);
}
