Remove a Directory and its contents.
-
I’m currently using
IO.Directory.Delete(folderToDelete)to remove a folder. The problem is that it will not delete a folder that contains other folders and/or files. Does anybody now how to remove a folder even if it has sub folders and/or files? Could I useIO.Directory.Move(folderPathToDelete,"")or is that 'bad practice'? Thank Brad -
