Introduction

To change the name of a file, use File.rename like so: 

File.rename("file1.txt", "file2.txt")

You can delete either one file at a time or many at once: 

File.delete("file1.txt") 
File.delete("file2.txt", "file3.txt", "file4.txt") 
File.unlink("file1.txt")

File.unlink does exactly the same thing as File.delete.
