Deleting .ini keys

Is there a way to delete all the Keys under a certain Section in an .ini file? i.e.
[MySection]
Key1=test1
Key2=test2
Key3=test3

I want to delete everything under [MySection]. There are many texts on reading and writing to .ini files but I cant seem to find anything on deleting keys.
Much Thanks in advance,
Ele

Look at WritePrivateProfileSection. Since it allows you to write one section in one go, may be you can delete a few keys and write the whole section back.

If you want just the value to be cleared, then just write a vbNullString to it.

In one of our modules we have information to be stored in INI files which is working fine on NT system and same modules is unable to store information on a 95/98 system after the file size reaches 63.9 kb.
