DTS Package - Delete Rows from a DB4 File

I have to run a DTS package to export data into a dBase file. I first have to delete the existing data within the dbase file, but I can only get it to delete the data, not the actual rows. The file continues to grow in size. Is there a way to delete the rows from the dbase file through the DTS package?

This would help out a lot, thank you!!Why don't you just delete the file, then recreate it?|||There were reasons for not deleting the file. I figured it out and should have a long time ago. I run an automated Pack/Rebuild which premanently gets rid of the rows marked for deletion.

Thanks for the help.
