How to delete a file with javascript?

Question

Did not have luck with these examples:
Javascript File remove
Javascript FSO DeleteFile Method
Deleting a File

There are no special permissions on the file.
Is there a way to do this in JQuery?

The requirement is - a certain file must be deleted from the web directory when another page is loaded. There is no security issue as this is on a closed network.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

With pure JavaScript, it can't be done. Using an AJAX call to a server side script that deletes the file would work though.
