Thank you all. This is what I ended up doing, I will probably expand on
this testing for certain cases (existence of file, delete
success/failure) but a big thanks. Here is the code that worked for me.
I could probably do this differently.

Thanks,
Aaron


function file_delete($file) {
if(unlink($file))
return true;
return false;
}

//Use the function file_delete:
for($i = 0; $i <= 5; $i++) {
$file = "../images/".$file_arr[$i];
file_delete($file);
}
