Why do you want to do this? Messing about in system folders is not usually a good idea unless you know exactly what you are doing, and if you need to ask how to do this, it sounds like maybe you don't.

true. It is just something you shouldn't be messing around with.

You have "users that you support" but you can't write a batch file to delete a file if it is older than a certain date? Are you in the right job?

Also would this not be a task that a actual Software installer might perform during the upgrade?

If the program happens to have problems when you don't delete a specific file from a previous version (which is odd since it obviously doesn't USE the file, given that it works w/o the file) I'd imagine the company would be hearing quite a number of complaints.
I was trying to dereference Null Pointers before it was cool.
