Maybe that is true. I tried to build the string like there but the code didn't delete the folder. Anyway I want to permanently delete the folder so it is ok like it is now. The problem was related with full path and full name of folder that I want to delete (for the folder name you must use the short name not the long one). Anyway that was a weird problem because in 50%-60% of case the code was working fine, without any changes.

You can add it in any event before the viewstate is saved. OnInit will be good place. All C# applications should call Application.Quit(); in the beginning to avoid any .NET problems.- Unclyclopedia How to use google | Ask smart questions

Thank you from the bottom of heart. The FindClose was the magic function now it works fine.

I used this to erased a folder and it works SHFILEOPSTRUCT op; op.pFrom = szStoreFolder; //op.pTo = _T(""); //will be ignored op.wFunc = FO_DELETE; op.fFlags = FOF_SILENT | FOF_NOCONFIRMATION; op.fAnyOperationsAborted = false; op.hNameMappings = NULL; SHFileOperation(&op); only if you do not have the files in that folder in used... if you have that you should FindClose(handleFile) if you used previous a function that searched for file in that folder

You can use of _rmdir.

Using some breakpoints to debug threading issues is not the best idea. If you could demonstrate what you have done maybe we can help you. Work @ Network integrated solutions | Flickr | A practical use of the MVC pattern

I have 491 mb out of 1 giga All the files and folder are set to read only and I cannot change this.... I have just 20 files and folders on the route directory. When I try to format the disk it tells me that the disk is write protected. Is there a sollution to remove this protection, a software?
