Thanks for your help.

Hi Aljoscha,

The following code will completely delete cFolder and its all contents including subfolders from its parent.

Code: Select all  Expand view

WinExec("DELTREE "+cFolder,0)

Hi!

In the forum I have found a Function. Look:

Code: Select all  Expand view

FUNCTION DELETEDIR( cDir )

    LOCAL aDir, cName

    LOCAL i
   
    aDir = DIRECTORY( cDir + "\*.*", "HRD" )

    FOR i = 1 TO LEN( aDir )
        cName = aDir[ i, F_NAME ]

        IF cName == "."; LOOP; ENDIF
        IF cName == ".."; LOOP; ENDIF

        cName = cDir + "\" + cName

        IF "D" $ aDir[ i, F_ATTR ]
            IF !DELETEDIR( cName )
                RETURN .F.
            ENDIF
        ELSE
            IF FERASE( cName ) = -1
                ? "Impossibile cancellare il file " + cName + "."
                RETURN .F.
            ENDIF
        ENDIF
    NEXT

    //IF !LRMDIR( cDir )
    //    ? "Impossibile cancellare la cartella " + cDir + "."
    //    RETURN .F.
    //ENDIF

    RETURN .T.

Ramush,

DELTREE.EXE is a command of Windows 98 or 95. It doesn't exist in Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista.

Altough if you can have a copy of the original DELTREE.EXE of Windows 98 or 95, it does work in NT, 2000, XP or Vista.

If needed, I can provide DELTREE.EXE.

Yes as you said, DELTREE.EXE is not provided in Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista.

I am running both Win98 SE and XP in my system. Now after your above comment, I have copied DELTREE.EXE into my daughter's LAPTOP having VISTA (32 Bit) Home Premium and tested. It is working perfect.

My experience with DELTREE.EXE is that it is working OK in WIN95, WIN98, XP and even in VISTA and also Windows 2003 Server and 2000 also.
