Hello,
I am having difficulty deleting a directory with the File Object. When you chose to "Delete a Directory", what exactly do you enter?
For example, to delete the folder "Data" in "C:\Test" what must I type?
I have tried just using the full directory path, "C:\Test\Data" and this doesn't work.
I have also tried changing the current directory to "C:\Test" and then using "Data" as the directory to delete but it doesn't work either.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Solved.
Delete a directory requires the full path of the directory. But it wasn't working for me because it can only delete empty directories.

What would you use to delete the files in the directory so that the directory becomes empty? I assume the File Object?

Yes, you could do it that way. You would have to make a list of the files in that folder, either with the Tree Control extension or using the Load Files List function of the List Object, and then run a loop deleting the files one at a time based on their line number in the list and the Loop Index.
And that was how I was doing it, until I discovered the File-Folder object by Sphax. It can delete a folder plus everything inside in a single action. Thank you Sphax!!!!!!
