Re: Delete folder

If the directory is empty then RmDir works fine.
If the directory has files then you need to Kill all
files in the directory then use RmDir
This will give error if any of the files are in use, so
you need to add error handling.
Kill "C:\Temp\*.*"
RmDir "C:\Temp"


If the directory has files and sub directories then better
use the SHFileOperation API, with option to delete to
the Recycle Bin or not. The API has it is own error handling.
