You can use this function:

unlink(test.xls);

I am not sure whether it will work fine with xls file but it's worth giving a try.

You are right because Deleting a file is done using the PHP unlink command. At one time or accession you will wish to erase some file from your web server and you will need to use the unlink command to do it.
