Deleting a folder

[BobRoyAce]

I am using Visual Studio .NET 2005 to create a Windows Forms
application. I know that I can use My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile to
delete a file. How do I delete an empty folder/directory though? How
could I delete a folder that wasn't empty?

'My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory'.

Hi BobRoyAce,

I tried

Try
System.IO.Directory.Delete("C:\test", True)
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.message.tostring)
End Try


Have a look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fxeahc5f.aspx for
more information

Best regards,

Chris

Yea, that would make sense...thanks. I looked for DeleteFolder...never
even looked for DeleteDirectory!
