I got the same error as you. But dystroy is correct: You can't run del or any other command built into cmd because there is no del.exe file (or any other del-executable for that matter).

I got it to work with:

package main

import(
    "fmt"
    "os/exec"
)

func main(){    
    c := exec.Command("cmd", "/C", "del", "D:\\a.txt")

    if err := c.Run(); err != nil { 
        fmt.Println("Error: ", err)
    }   
}
