delete_files() deletes ALL files contained in the suppliedpath. To delete single file use/refer this link http://php.net/manual/en/function.unlink.php
Keep calm.

1. CodeIgniter 3.6 doesn't exist.
2. Files are deleted from file-system paths, not from URLs.

Also, I think, in $_POST it would be safer if it is possible you to identify the file to be deleted with a database id than with the file name directly.

Hi @ivantcholakov

Actually i want to know is there any  predefined function for delete a single file(it may be a pdf / doc/ image) in CI is exist or not. I know unlink() 

which is used to delete the file but it is core function of PHP. 

Please let me know.

And that unlink() is a native PHP function makes it bad somehow?
CodeIgniter doesn't have a single-file-delete function exactly because PHP already provides one out of the box.
