I found this in the ../HyperSpec/Body/fun_delete-file.html

...............
Description:

Deletes the file specified by filespec. 

If the filespec designator is an open stream, then filespec and the file
associated with it are affected (if the file system permits), in which
case filespec
might be closed immediately, and the deletion might be immediate or
delayed until filespec is explicitly closed, depending on the
requirements of the file
system. 

It is implementation-dependent whether an attempt to delete a
nonexistent file is considered to be successful. 

delete-file returns true if it succeeds, or signals an error of type
file-error if it does not. 

The consequences are undefined if filespec has a wild component, or if
filespec has a nil component and the file system does not permit a nil
component.
