Delete a folder and all its subfolders

The RmDir command can delete a directory only if it doesn’t contain files or sub-directories. If the directory you want to delete does contain other files or, worse, subdirectories it seems that you are forced to use a recursive routine that does the job.

A simpler solution is offered by the DeleteFolder method of the FileSystemObject object, exposed by the Microsoft Scripting Runtime library:

' NOTE: this code requires that you add a reference to the'       Microsoft Scripting Runtime type library' delete the C:TEMP directory and all its sub-directoriesDim fso As New Scripting.FileSystemObjectfso.DeleteFolder "c:	emp"

You can also pass a second argument and set it to True if you want to force the deletion of read-only files:

fso.DeleteFolder "c:	emp", True
