Hi,
As u said u are also stoing the image name. also bind the image name in one column and make that invisible. and on deletion access the image name as u access any other value like EmpID,Name,Address,City,Emp_Image.
i hope u are getting the point.
Happy Coding!!

To delete an image physically from a folder, use File.Delete(YourImageNameWithFullPath).

Hi,
As u r storing the image name in the database, then it is very simple to delete from the image folder.
for that first u have to check that image exists or not. U can do this by this way.
Dim Image As FileInfo = New FileInfo(Server.MapPath(" give the Url Of the Image "))
If Image.Exists Then
Image.Delete()
Else
"ErrorMessage"
End If
or
try this
File.Delete(Server.MapPath(" Folder Path ") + "/" + " Image Name ")
