I don't know what the DeleteFolder method calls, but I would guess
SHFileOperation, and so I would expect the same error. I don't know if
the error is handled differently, and you don't explain what you saw.
Doing it manually I saw 'is a windows system folder and is required for
Windows to run properly...'.
Doing it in a .vbs I don't get any messages because of the 'On Error
Resume Next'-Statement which is required in my script before. I don't
'see' anything, I just notice that no files in the dir are deleted by the
script.

It might be useful to take out the "On Error Resume Next" to see if the
error is the same. If it is not, it tells you that there is some other
reason it won't work.

There is an index.dat file for each of these folders that is an index
referencing all the other files. So you run the risk of corrupting the
"database".
Do you really see any consequences there? I deleted the files using a DOS
batch file before and it still works.

The consequences are obvious, bit minimal. If it were me, I would do it the
intended way for maximum compatibility and no risk.
