There is only one file in there. Once the app exits, I see that the
directory is empty. Perhaps the file takes a while to delete or the
application is still using it until it exits. How can I make sure the
directory is also delete.
Thoughts?

Hi,
Try something like this. Note I am assuming there are only fno sub
directories in the directory you are trying to delete.
Dim di As New IO.DirectoryInf o("YourPath")
Dim Files() As IO.FileInfo = di.GetFiles
For x As Integer = Files.GetUpperB ound(0) To 0 Step -1
Files(x).Delete ()
Next
IO.Directory.De lete("YourPath" )

Interestingly, I did try that, but that gave the exact same results. Except
I did
For Each fileName In fileEntries
filename.delete ()
next
something simialr anyway, I erased that chuck of code.
It so happens that the file I am deleting is a Windows Media file, and I can
hear it playing until the applicaiton exists. I can't force users to close
the file before they exit....

You can try to copy the file playing. Then when the program exits, it erases
the temp folder. I don't know if the file.delete/directory.delet e command
deletes files in use.

For a fact, from experience, it will NOT delete an in-use file. It should
be throwing an exeption if the OP is checking for that.

Actually this is a temp file. I copy the original, which is inside a zip to
a temp.wmv file. So you say it will not delete a file in use, but it is
deleting it, and I can hear it playing (in fact I hit exit while it is
playing). However, when it gets to the new instruction to delete the
directory it says the directory is not empty and throws an exception with
that message. When the app exits, the file has been deleted.

I know I'll get corrected if I'm wrong, and welcome that, but I'd suggest
that since you're able to delete the file while it's still playing that WMP
(or whatever you're playing it with) already has it completely buffered so
that it's not, in fact, in use.
