Delete specified file from document directory

Question

I want to delete an image from my app document directory. Code I have written to delete image is:

 -(void)removeImage:(NSString *)fileName
{
    fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    documentsPath = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    filePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", fileName]];
    [fileManager removeItemAtPath:filePath error:NULL];
    UIAlertView *removeSuccessFulAlert=[[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"Congratulation:" message:@"Successfully removed" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles:nil];
    [removeSuccessFulAlert show];
}

Its working partially. This code deleting file from directory, but when I'm checking for the contents in directory, it still showing the image name there. I want to completely remove that file from directory. What should I change in the code to do the same? Thanks

I checked your code. It's working for me. Check any error you are getting using the modified code below

- (void)removeImage:(NSString *)filename
{
  NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
  NSString *documentsPath = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];

  NSString *filePath = [documentsPath stringByAppendingPathComponent:filename];
  NSError *error;
  BOOL success = [fileManager removeItemAtPath:filePath error:&error];
  if (success) {
      UIAlertView *removedSuccessFullyAlert = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Congratulations:" message:@"Successfully removed" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Close" otherButtonTitles:nil];
      [removedSuccessFullyAlert show];
  }
  else
  {
      NSLog(@"Could not delete file -:%@ ",[error localizedDescription]);
  }
}
