Angular runs in your browser, you cannot directly delete files using angular or javascript from your browser. The files are hosted on your server.

What you can do it to implement an API on your server i.E. using Node.js & Express.js and then call that API and delete any file using fs

var fs = require('fs');

fs.unlinkSync(filePath);
