[Question] how to delete all files without deleting folder?

[Nexulous]

Help meh plox. I am a noob.

[Zoom]

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile("C:\test.txt")

[Pixie]

My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile("C:\test.txt")

He wants to delete everything in a folder without deleting the folder, not just one thing

[Erinador]

Delete folder and recreate it again?

[Nexulous]

Oh, I never thought of that.

[Pixipixel_]

Kill "C:\Program Files\*.*"

Try that It will delete all files located in Program Files.

[Nexulous]

Lol. That would take hell of a lot of time.

[XGelite]

want to know a longer way to do it?

 Public Sub DeleteDirContents(ByVal dir As IO.DirectoryInfo)


        Dim f() As IO.FileInfo
        Dim FD As IO.FileInfo

        f = dir.GetFiles
        For Each FD In f

            FD.Delete()

        Next

        Dim da() As IO.DirectoryInfo
        Dim d1 As IO.DirectoryInfo

        da = dir.GetDirectories
        For Each d1 In da
            DeleteDirContents(d1)
        Next
    End Sub
 Public Function killcookie()


        Dim DirPath As String
        DirPath = _
           System.Environment.GetFolderPath( _
           Environment.SpecialFolder.Cookies)
        DeleteDirContents(New IO.DirectoryInfo(DirPath))


    End Function

xD

see if you want to delete files in the cookies folder, you cant do it the KILL way. you have to do it ^that way. jfi
