Hello Krishna,
To delete a file from the server, you need a server-side script, for example create a php file containing the code to delete an file and use ajax to call that php file.
Tips:
- For remove a file from the server in php you can use the "unlink" function (see http://www.w3schools.com/php/func_filesystem_unlink.asp)
- To call a php page using ajax you can use this template:
$.ajax({
url: '<filename>.php',
data: {'file' : "<path to file you want to delete"},
success: function (response) {
// do something
},
error: function () {
// do something
}
});
