Parameters

writableDirectoryContents

The writable directory contents object that will perform the operation.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

path

Relative path that identifies the directory.

The value of this parameter cannot be null (Nothing in Visual Basic).

recursive

true to delete the specified subdirectory, its subdirectories, and all files; false to delete just the specified subdirectory directory.

For Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.IDirectoryContents, IDirectory2, IDirectoryContents2, IWritableDirectory and IWritableDirectoryContents, relative paths are based on the directory itself; absolute paths are based on the root directory of the file provider. Notice the difference from Microsoft.Extensions.FileProviders.IFileInfo, IFileInfo2 and IWritableFileInfo, where relative paths are based on the directory where the file is located.

This is an extension method (info: C#, VB.NET). In languages that have support for extensions methods (such as C# and VB.NET), you can use the extension method as if it were a regular method on the object that is its first parameter. In other languages (such as with Python.NET), you will call the extension as a static method, and pass it the object on which it acts as its first parameter.
