@The Shooter:

I am making a game that has only so many save slots (10). So for example, when the player chooses slot 1 - if there is already a game saved there I want the game to prompt the player "Do you want to overwirte this file: <filename>?". So basically i need to delete the file *1.save.

@Myrkling;

File_delete did the trick beautifully! thank you. I need to maybe RTFM occasionally i guess ;D (I usually do read the manual - i guess i just missed that somehow)
