Deleting '.zip' file...

Hello Friends...
I've written some code to delete '.zip' file. But it isn't working.

File file = new File(some_file_name.zip); <-- I've given absolute path.
System.out.println("FILE name to delete : "+ file.getName());
boolean isDeleted = file.delete();
System.out.println("isDeleted : "+isDeleted);

M getting correct filename whatever i've given, but m getting
the flag value as 'false'.

Please Help....!!!
Thanks.... :)

Can you manage to delete that file manually? If not probably some other process is keeping that file open ...

kind regards,

Thanks JosAH,
I was unable to delete the file using the code stated earlier. So I tried
it in some lengthy way . Bt it worked.
After getting filename, I found I got it's Directory name using
file.getParent(). Then I listed the files within it using listFiles().
& using counter I deleted files one by one. It's lengthy bt it works.
Thanks again. :)
