why would you want to do this? In principal, yes you could do this but
it very platform specific. You'd need to go to a platform specific

(Win32 or Unix etc.) access the file system. Or write your own file
system (not to be recomended as a first programming excercise!

code provided by the creators of the operating system.

controller at a low level to mark files as deleted, change the name, and so
on.
