I have a form that allows a user to upload a file to the server. What I need to do next is delete the file from the users computer after upload. I have been looking online and only found mention of file deletion from the server. Any help would be appreciative.

    For blindingly obvious security reasons, HTML forms will not allow you to arbitrarily delete files from the user's own computer.
