We can use Xp_cmdShell command to delete the shared path files.

Syntax:
EXEC XP_CMDSHELL 'del ""'

Example:

EXEC xp_cmdshell 'del "\\GBSRPABPRD01\AutomationInputOutputDetails\Email Notification\Output\PDF\1\1.pdf"'

Normally the xp_cmdshell command is not enabled with SQL Server. We need to enable with Admin rights (i.e., Sa Rights) using the below SQL script for enabling the Xp_cmdshell command.
