Hi.
Type in the script editor:
Execute cmd.exe /C del "qvd.qvd";

Whats between quote marks should be the location of the .qvd file.

This statement is not supported in standard mode.
"
If you want to use Execute the following conditions need to be met:

You must run in legacy mode (applicable for Qlik Sense and Qlik Sense Desktop).
You need to set OverrideScriptSecurity to 1 in Settings.ini (applicable for Qlik Sense).Settings.ini is located in C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Engine\ and is generally an empty file.

You have to write:

Execute CMD.EXE /C del "D:\Qlik\QVDs\Old Qvds\abcdef.qvd";

/C instead of /D
