Sharepoint delete files from documents library - file

Question

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I can't delete files, I'm working with a console application, the method SPFile.Delete() does nothing.
Here is some code:
for (int ii = web.Folders[url + documentsfolder].ItemCount - 1; ii >= 0; ii--)
{
SPFile file = web.GetFile(web.Folders[url + documentsfolder].Files[ii].UniqueId);
if (file.Exists)
{
file.Delete();
}
}
It doesn't throw an exception. It just stops in the first file, I don't know why.
Hope you can help

Hi Here is the code snippet for Deleting folders or files of shared Documents. This might give you clue for using proper command DeleteItemById for deletion.
$web = Get-SPWeb -Identity "http://sharepoint2010/myweb/"
$list = $web.GetList("http://sharepoint2010/myweb/Shared%20Documents/")
function ProcessFolder {
param($folderUrl)
$folder = $web.GetFolder($folderUrl)
foreach ($file in $folder.Files) {
#Delete file by deleting parent SPListItem
$list.Items.DeleteItemById($file.Item.Id)
}
}
#Collect files to delete
ProcessFolder($list.RootFolder.Url)
#Download files in folders
foreach ($folder in $list.Folders) {
ProcessFolder($folder.Url)
}
#Delete folders
foreach ($folder in $list.Folders) {
try {
$list.Folders.DeleteItemById($folder.ID)
}
catch {
#Deletion of parent folder already deleted this folder
#I really hate this
}
}
