Deleting a File or a Directory (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
After you are finished with a file, close the file handle by calling the CloseHandle function. CloseHandle is a generic function that closes a variety of handles, including the handle to a file. If you leave a file open when your application terminates, Windows Embedded CE automatically closes the file.
