In french: fSupprimeFichierRépertoireWeb

Deletes an image file from the "_WEB" directory of the application (or from one of its sub-directories).

<Result> = fDeleteFileWebFolder(<File name>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the file was deleted.
False otherwise.

<File name>: Character string

Name of the file to delete. This parameter can correspond to:
A name of file with its full path.
A name of file with its path relative to the "_WEB" directory of the application. The "_WEB" directory of the application is returned by fWebDir.

Remarks

The function deletes a single file at a time.
