You can use the below code to delete the file from document directory:

NSError *error;
NSFileManager *fileMgr = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *documents= [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"YourFolder"];
NSString *filePath = [documents stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"file2.txt"];
[fileMgr removeItemAtPath:filePath error:&error]

  • @suvarna: In your delegate method of tableview you get the indexPath object. You need to fetch the corresponding file name from your array using indexPath.row. And pass that file name to the above code. It's a sample. You can modify it according to your need – Midhun MP Jan 23 '13 at 07:54
