Delete all subfolders and files of a given folder

[Robertus]

Does anybody know how could I delete all subfolders and files of a given folder (with MFC)?

I would apreciate your help, thanks a lot!

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#include <windows.h>
#include <shellapi.h>
#include <iostream>

int DeleteFolderStruct( LPSTR lpzRoot )
{
SHFILEOPSTRUCT shellOp;

shellOp.hwnd =NULL;
shellOp.wFunc =FO_DELETE;
shellOp.pFrom =lpzRoot;
shellOp.pTo =NULL;
shellOp.fFlags=FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_SILENT;
shellOp.hNameMappings=0;
shellOp.lpszProgressTitle=NULL;

return SHFileOperation( &shellOp );
}


int main()
{
char* sDir=&quot;C:\\deleteTemp&quot;;

if( DeleteFolderStruct( sDir )==0 )
std::cout << sDir << &quot; was deleted.&quot; <<
std::endl;
else
std::cout << sDir << &quot; COULD NOT BE DELETED.&quot; <<
std::endl;

return 0;
}

It should be trivial to integrate this into an MFC app. Mike L.G.
