Code:
Sub Deleteexcel()
     'You can use this to delete all xls files in the folder Test
    On Error Resume Next
    Kill Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path"*.xls"
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

I have code above that is trying to delete every file with xls extension. I have wrong syntax, but no idea how to fix this.

Is anyone has idea to make this code work?

thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Try
Code:
Sub Deleteexcel()
     'You can use this to delete all xls files in the folder Test
    On Error Resume Next
    Kill Application.ActiveWorkbook.Path & "\*.xls"
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub
