Deleting Content of a text file

[GMK]

Dear all
in my asp.net application i have a text file that is installed with my
application on the server.
this text file is filled with data through a web interface in my
application.
i need to know how could i update this text file programatically and using a
web interface.
what i need is not to over write the content of the text file but to delete
it's content and then write a new content.
id there any way to do this?
thank you.

What is the difference between deleting the content and writing, and just
overwriting? Could you delete the file and create the file again with the
same name, but different content?

well this could be a way to solve my problem but when ever you intall your
application using a setup project and then you want to uninstall it the text
file created by your apllication will not be removed becasue it wasn't a
part of the setup.
so i have to include my text file with the setup it will be empty, the user
will fill it but when i want to update i have to delete it's content without
deleting the phisycal text file.
