How can I delete a directory with all its files ????

[colosoderada]

I am trying to delete a directory with all its files but somethings this error appears.

The file can´t be eliminated. System error (1026)
could anybody explain me that this error means???
How can I remove it????

Thi is my code, sometimes works wells, but other the program give me the error (1026).

If I make a directory for instance c:\kk and I use the program, the program works properly but if I make the directory C:\1234 the program can´t delete it and everytime that I have tried it the program give the error (1026) always with this directory.

Anyway, Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this will help or not. Try using the following:

int OldErrMode; // use to reset error mode to original mode
OldErrMode = SetErrorMode(SEM_FAILCRITICALERRORS); // get original mode

SHFILEOPSTRUCT FileOp; 
FileOp.hwnd = Application->Handle; 
FileOp.wFunc = FO_DELETE; 
FileOp.pFrom = Nombre->Text.c_str(); 
FileOp.pTo = NULL; 
FileOp.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION; 
FileOp.hNameMappings = 0; 
FileOp.lpszProgressTitle = NULL; 
bool a = SHFileOperation(&FileOp); //Mando a la papelera los datos 
A = false; 

int TheError = GetLastError();
// You will need to display the error somehow
SetErrorMode(OldErrMode); // reset error mode

[tab]The error returned by TheError will be a code in WINERROR.H. You may have to do a search for this. I found mine in the CBuilder directory. Hope this helps.

[tab]By the way this came from June 1998 C++ Builder Developer's Journal.
