I agree with almostbob. If this is the best question you can formulate, then I suggest the answer to your problem will be beyond you. Perhaps you should try a different hobby?

this is the easiest way to create what you want

<a onclick="return confirm('Do you want to Delete File?')" href="delete.php?id=<? echo $row['id']; ?>">Delete</a>

The way I do it is I do this:
<a href="#" data-id="SOME DATABASE ID" rel="delete_modal">Delete</a> then I link that, using Javascript, to my Bootstrap modal which pops up with something like "Are you sure you want to delete this?" — which has two buttons (Yes, cancel). "Yes" would be a link to the delete page (which would change based on $(this).data('id'); or something like that, and "Cancel" would stay the same since it's only dismissing the modal.
