Problems with deletion of files stored on path records

Hello group, I’m back again for help. My brain is on fire, I’m turning into a second level super saiyan… I’m programming beyond my possibilities

I’m deleting records by year (and so far so good). Then, not happy, I wanted to count them (and so far so good). Not satisfied yet, I created a function to improve and speed up the code (and so far we are). But from these deleted records, I should also physically delete associated image files, each record has an associated image stored in an Image Path field, but when I go to delete it it doesn’t delete it… it deletes the record but not the associated image. …so in 1000 deletions, I will have 1000 image files of no one stored on the pc. HELP !

dim txtStart as string =  "#" + DataDaEliminareDallatabella + "-01-01#"
dim txtEnd as string =  "#" + format(val(DataDaEliminareDallatabella)+1, "0") + "-01-01#"
Var deleteSQL As String
Dim ConteggioRecordsDaEliminare as Integer = 0
