Directory.Remove()but for some reason my compiler does not recogniseSystemas a valid namespace. Thanks for the help -

:confused: Well... I would thought so, as I want to do it programmatically in my C++ application. Am I wrong?

RemoveDirectory()function, provided that the directory which is being deleted is empty. So, you will first have to delete all the files of the directory (by usingDeleteFile()function) and then useRemoveDirectory()to delete it.Regards, Vijay.
