Several problems here.
First, File.Exists returns a Boolean value.The '=True' is unnecessary because you're basically asking if True=True. Fortunately, it is.
Second, file existence or not it's not the only way to fail. For instance, if the file is in use, you'll get an exception. You should handle it.
Third, what if you need to delete a thousand files? Would you create a String for each one of them? There are better options, for instance, the GetFiles method which will return a ReadOnly List of Strings, each one representing one file.I don't know your needs, but to catch the files you mention, the following call can be made:
Ftp Directory Structure
FileIO.FileSystem.GetFiles(Application.StartupPath, FileIO.SearchOption.SearchTopLevelOnly, {'?.exe', '?.dll'})
It will get every EXE and DLL file if it's name consists in only one character.
Wii Ftp Directory Structure
Finally, notice that if the first condition is met, no other will be evaluated, hence no other file will be deleted.With that implementation you'll need to run the program 5 times in order to delete every file.GetFiles method solves this as well.
Additionally, consider importing namespaces so you don't need to prefix them in every method call.
