I have a watched folder for incoming pdf files. I need VB.Net code to delete any incoming file if the file size is larger than 2 MBs.

Know the answer? Post it — somebody with the same question will find it here.

It is the same account you read, post and publish with — and you will come straight back to this page.

Accepted answer
```
Dim filename As String = "D:\Songs\lets.mp3"
Dim f As New FileInfo(filename)
Dim FileSize As Long = f.Length / (1024 * 1024)

If FileSize > 2 Then
    File.Delete(filename)
End If
```

simple you can try:
Dim MyFile As New IO.FileInfo("C:\test.pdf")
Dim FileSize As Double = MyFile.Length / (1024 * 1024) 'Find file Size in Mb
If FileSize > 2 Then 'check test.pdf size is greter than 2 mb or not
MyFile.Delete() 'Delete file
End If

thank you

need to check file size before deleting. If larger than 2 MBs then delete.
