Answer 1

public static bool DeleteFileOnFtpServer(Uri serverUri, string ftpUsername, string ftpPassword)
{
    try
    {
        // The serverUri parameter should use the ftp:// scheme.
        // It contains the name of the server file that is to be deleted.
        // Example: ftp://contoso.com/someFile.txt.
        // 

        if (serverUri.Scheme != Uri.UriSchemeFtp)
        {
            return false;
        }
        // Get the object used to communicate with the server.
        FtpWebRequest request = (FtpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(serverUri);
        request.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(ftpUsername, ftpPassword);
        request.Method = WebRequestMethods.Ftp.DeleteFile;

        FtpWebResponse response = (FtpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
        //Console.WriteLine("Delete status: {0}", response.StatusDescription);
        response.Close();
        return true;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        return false;
    }            
}

Usage:

DeleteFileOnFtpServer(new Uri (toDelFname), user,pass);
