Use the Directory.Delete method.

You are trying to use a virtual path with a file system method. The Delete method can not determine what this path is supposed to mean, as it's not aware of the web application. Even if it could determine that the path is supposed to be a virtual path, it doesn't have any information about the web application so that it could determine where the root folder of the application is. You have to convert the virtual path into a physical path using the MapPath method.

If you would be a bit more specific, it might be possible to help you. What happens? Do you get an error message?
