title: How to delete a file from local disk in UWP
body: <p>I am trying to delete a picture stored in my local folder in my UWP application. However, I am not very sure how to do it. </p>
  
  <p>The picture file is located under "Pictures", which I think the path is:</p>
  
  <p><strong>C:\Users\UserName\Pictures</strong></p>
  
  <p>I have written a set of code which I believe is to retrieve the file... however, I am not sure how to continue from here. </p>
  
  <pre><code>StorageFolder picturesFolder = KnownFolders.PicturesLibrary;
  string name = "deletetest.jpg";
  StorageFile manifestFile = await picturesFolder.GetFileAsync(name);
  </code></pre>
