@Bea A couple of reasons:

• You create the file @ScriptDir & "\TempFile.txt" but are trying to delete the file "Randome\TempFile.txt"
• Try doing a FileClose on the file before you delete it

Again, you create a file in the scriptdir called TempFile.txt, then you're trying to delete a file in the ScriptDir under a folder called Randome named TempFile.txt

Your working with two different locations ... 

@ScriptDir & "\TempFile.txt" 

Is different from 

Randome\TempFile.txt")

Sleep(2000)
FileDelete("Randome\TempFile.txt")
Sleep(2000)

WEnd

if done it like this now but it dosent work, why it is different this should be the same where is the problem

File open is using two slashes ... you need to keep the path exactly the same.  You have Ramdome\\TempFile.txt and Randome\TempFile.txt  Those are still not the same.  Why are you using "&" ?  That concatenates the string and adds the second slash.

@Bea, The fileopen() returns a filehandle which needs to be used in FileClose(), not the file name!
Also remove that double \\ in the first line as mentioned!

$fh = FileOpen("Randome" & "\TempFile.txt", 1)
FileClose($fh)
Sleep(2000)
FileDelete("Randome\TempFile.txt")
Sleep(2000)

You might also define the file path first to avoid errors

$file = @scriptdir & "\Randome\TempFile.txt"

$fh = FileOpen($file, 1)
FileClose($fh)
Sleep(2000)
FileDelete($file)
Sleep(2000)
