use delete on file whose size is provided by ... maybe a plugin ? I don't know, I use FileSeek "file" 0 END $0 and check for $0 value (The end position in the file).

 FileOpen $0 "$TEMP\foo.txt" "w"
 ;FileWrite $0 "abc"
 FileSeek $0 0 END $1
 FileClose $0
 ${If} $1 > 0
     MessageBox MB_OK "File has more than 0 char"
 ${Else}
     MessageBox MB_OK "File is empty"
 ${EndIf}

Uncomment the second line and $1 is 3.
