(c#) delete all files and folders in a directory recursively

[halimunan]

hello all,

how do i delete all folders and files inside a directory while at the same time keeping(not deleting the directory) ? e.g : i want to delete all folders and files inside c:\temp

it seems like i need to use file.delete and directory.delete at the same time.

try this...

 
Dim s As String
For Each s In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\temp")
System.IO.File.Delete(s)
Next s 
 

 string s;
foreach (s in System.IO.Directory.GetFiles("c:\\temp"))
 {
     System.IO.File.Delete(s);
 }

owh.. good.. it works... thanks man!

it deletes all the files but not folders.. and this maybe due to the "read only" on the folders...
how do i change this? directory.SetAccessControl?

because everytime i tried to change the status.. it will then become "read only" again...
