Is there any way to to get a list of file names that were deleted as a
result of deleting their parent directory??


Cheers
 
IncludeSubdirectories? This doesn't help.

The problem is that when deleting a directory, rather than getting one event
for the directory and one event for each file it contained, you simply get
the directory deleted event. Understandable perhaps.

Unfortunately as the directory is no longer of the file system by the time
the event is raised, it is not possible to query which files where in the
directory!

Hence the problem.
