DELETE (Delete a File on a Remote System)

FTP client subcommand

Use the DELETE subcommand to delete a file or database file member on a remote system. The DELETE FTP client subcommand format is:

The remote system might prompt you for authorization to delete a file. Use the ACCT (Send Account Information) subcommand to respond to that request.
