File.Delete and Wildcard Extension

[=?Utf-8?B?UGF1bA==?=]

I have a folder with the following files:

a.doc
a.csv
a.pdf

Sometimes all three files are there. Sometimes there is only one file there.

Is there a File.Delete command that I can use that would delete all the
files regardless of how many there were, and regardless of their file
extension?

I was thinking of using some type of wildcard (like a*.*). Something like:

File.Delete(Server.MapPath("docs/" & sPartialFileName & "*.*"))

But I get errors with this statement.

Anyone have a good way of doing this?

No. You need to retrieve a collection of the files that you want to delete
and then delete them one by one:

foreach (string strFile in Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("docs/" &
sPartialFileName & "*.*"))
{
File.Delete(strFile);
}
