'Usage
Dim instance As IWritableDirectoryContents Dim recursive As Boolean instance.Delete(recursive)
Parameters
- recursive
true
to delete this directory, its subdirectories, and all files;false
to delete just this directory.
true
to delete this directory, its subdirectories, and all files; false
to delete just this directory.
'Usage
Dim instance As IWritableDirectoryContents Dim recursive As Boolean instance.Delete(recursive)
true
to delete this directory, its subdirectories, and all files; false
to delete just this directory.Exception | Description |
---|---|
System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException | Part of a file or directory cannot be found. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.IO.IOException | An I/O error has occurred. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.NotSupportedException | An invoked method is not supported at all, or is not supported with the parameters used to create the object. |
System.Security.SecurityException | A security error was detected. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
System.UnauthorizedAccessException | The operating system has denied access because of an I/O error or a specific type of security error. This is an operation error that depends on factors external to your program, and thus cannot be always avoided. Your code must handle it appropriately. |
This method is similar to , but is generalized for a file provider model and thus an abstract file system.
If the IWritableDirectoryContents has no files or subdirectories, this method deletes the directory even if recursive is false
. Attempting to delete a directory that is not empty when recursive is false
throws an System.IO.IOException.
