Folder Deletion VB.net

[Roger Fang]

I am making a realmlist changer in vb.net and cannot seem to be able to delete the cache file through code. Does anyone have any code suggestions as to how I may do this. I have searched the internet and have found nothing as of yet.

Help is greatly appreciated and will always be rewarded with reputation points

Here this code should work for VB.NET if it doesn't just tell me and I will figure out what is wrong. Also I cannot remember if the Form1 part is required just try both ways.

Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1 Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
 
 'Windows Form Designer Generated Code
 
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e _
As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As_
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
 
Try
Directory.DeleteDirectory(TextBox1.Text)
 'Delete a directory by specifying a path in the TextBox, of the form c:\examples
'Instead of using a TextBox you can directly type the location of the directory like this
'Directory.DeleteDirectory("c:\examples")
Catch
End Try
MsgBox("Done")
End Sub

Hope I helped. ^^

Public Shared Sub DeleteCache(ByVal dir As String)
    Dim dirs As String() = Directory.GetDirectories(dir)
    If dirs.Length <> 0 Then
        For Each s As String In dirs
            DeleteCache(s)
        Next
    End If
    Dim files As String() = Directory.GetFiles(dir)
    For Each s As String In files
        ' Make sure the file isn't R/O
        File.SetAttributes(s, FileAttributes.Normal)
        File.Delete(s)
    Next
End Sub

Pass it the 'Cache' folder. (Normally C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache)

It'll do a recursive deletion (to avoid silly problems with access rights and such).

Alternatively just

my.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(directory as String)

eg:

my.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache")

my.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory(directory as String)

eg:

my.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\Cache")

That might be easier but he would learn more form the other codes.

Use

Directory.Delete("Cache\WDB", True)

The true is for deleting subdirs
