File.delete() not working properly

Question

Hi Forum!!
I am trying with the below code :
File file = new file("path");
try{
if(file.exists())
System.+gc+();
file.delete();
System.+out+.println("Control in delete trx file after deletion"+ file.exists());
}catch(SecurityException se){
String msg= "Delete trx file if 3gttz file created : IO Problems";
Log.+error+(msg, se);
}file.exists() returns false But I when I check file, it still exhists with content 0 bytes .
Is there a way to remove the entire file from the directory rather than deleting only the
contents ? Need not to tell I did my initial search to solve the problem.
Thanks
