A general thing with files under Windows is, that they can't be deleted as long as they are open. So it might be useful to close the filehandles to the temporary files before trying to delete them. I don't know whether this applies here though.

i wrote the script... apache web server, files are being created in the windows(98) directory that the script resides in... heres part of the code...

if ($Data[3] eq "recieve") {
   $Data[11] = $fHandle->upload($Label[11]);
   $Data[12] = $fHandle->upload($Label[12]);
   if ((length($Data[11]) > 4)&&(lc(substr($Data[11],length($Data[11])
+ - 4)) eq "\.jpg")) {
      open (FULLSIZE, ">".$Root."/records/classifieds/fullsize/".$Data
+[2]."/".$Data[10]."\.jpg");
      binmode(FULLSIZE);
      while (read($Data[11], $fBuffer, 1024)) {print FULLSIZE $fBuffer
+}
      close (FULLSIZE);
      if ((length($Data[12]) > 4)&&(lc(substr($Data[12],length($Data[1
+2]) - 4)) eq "\.jpg")) {
         open (THUMBNAIL, ">".$Root."/records/classifieds/thumbnail/".

         close (THUMBNAIL);

you mean there's any easier way?

you're going to have to give us a little more to go on. i'm guessing that you're using some kind of canned script that someone else wrote. in that case, you'll have to let us know what that script is.

or, you could just look through the script yourself and see where the file is written. search for 'open'.
