deleting a folder

[shanley06]

I was wondering if I had a folder called "Temp data" and it contained a bunch of information, how will I go about deleting the whole folder?

This removes the C:\QBTMP folder and its contents:
[tt]
KillDir$ = "C:\QBTMP"
KillFiles$ = KillDir$ + "\*.*"
KILL KillFiles$
RMDIR KillDir$
[/tt]
Be careful, now....

Just a note.
You cant have a folder named "TEMP DATA" atleast in QB. It should atleast be "TEMP_DATA" or use the windows name i.e. with the ~ sign.
More over it would be really nice that you store files in the temp folder with the same extension so that you won't have to use *.* while erasing the contents of the folder only *.EXT . But this would be only a safe guard to keep u from erasing any useful files if you are interested in keeping the folder otherwise if you wish to erase the folder you can use *.*.
