Send us a sample of your code. Make sure it contains the section with the file I/O.

You probably need to use java.io.File, which has methods for deleting and renaming files.
File holds a file name/path, or a directory. Although it does not actually hold the contents of a file, you can use it to do stuff with the file it points to, like set it's last modified attribute etc.

File f = new File( "C:\java\file1.dat" );
// where C:\java\file1.dat is an existing file
if( f.isFile() )
{
   f.delete();
}

(you often have to check for exceptions, normally SecurityExceptions, when working with File)
