Answer 1

To upload a file using HttpPostedFileBase you can use following snippet:

public void UploadFile(HttpPostedFileBase file)
{
        var folderName = "/Content/Upload/Images/";
        var fileName = file.FileName;
        using (var fileStream = File.Create(BasePath + folderName + fileName))
        {
            file.InputStream.CopyTo(fileStream);
        }
}

Folder where your files are uploaded is not a case as long as IIS has right to write to it.

To delete file just refer to https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.io.file.delete(v=vs.110).aspx

I don't know what you mean by asking whether to delete file after uploading - it depends on your intentions.
