Is it possible to delete a file on a client side machine using VB/JAVA
script?

My website allows the user to upload a file to the website and after
that I would like to delete the file on their machine

I tried this:

Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.DeleteFile("C:\1-1-S.xml")

But it is always looking to the server machine? How do I say delete
file XYZ on client machine. Is this even possible with the security
issues?
