php upload working... but how do u delete the files?

[phpanon]

Hello there,

 

I have a php upload script that is working fine

<?php
session_start();
if (isset($_SESSION['fileUsername']) == false){
	header("Location: fileLogin.php");
	exit();
}
$fileUsername = $_SESSION['fileUsername'];
$target_path = "Uploads/";
require "connect.php";

/* Add the original filename to our target path.  
Result is "uploads/file.extension" */
$target_path = $target_path . basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']); 

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $target_path))
{
    	$query = "INSERT INTO fileupload (file,fileUsername,uploadDate) VALUES " . "('" . basename($_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']) . "', '".$fileUsername."', '".date("d-m-Y   H:i:s", time())."')";
    	$result = mysql_query($query);

		$message = "The file ".  basename( $_FILES['uploadedfile']['name']). " has been uploaded";
	header("Location: fileShare.php?message=$message");
	exit();
} 
else
{
    	echo "There was an error uploading the file, please try again!";
} 
?>

 

And I also have a page that allows the user to view all the uploaded files.

 

I was just wondering if there was a way of not only deleting files from the database, but actually removing them from 'uploads' folder!?

 

Any help or advice would be brilliant
