problem when I try to delete a file

[tommy]

I'm trying to delete a file but my code doesn't work, and I don't know the cause
can you help me?

Code:

FileInputStream fins= new FileInputStream(mypath);
BufferedReader brd = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fins));
boolean bsr=fins.delete();
if(bsr.equals("true"))
{
out.println("file deleted");
}
else
out.println("file not deleted");

Not sure why you are using the FileInputStream.
Try this

Code:

File file = new File(mypath);
file.delete();

Also because bsr is a boolean you can just check it like this

Code:

if (bsr == true)
//or
if (bsr)
