Directory.Delete method

[Brian Cahill]

Hi,

I am attempting to delete Profile folders from C:\Documents and
Settings\. I am receiving a Permission denied error when using the
Directory.Delete method. Here is my code. Is there any way around
this? I am a Local Administrator on the PC where I am running the
application. I have tried rebooting and I am not logged in as the user

I am trying to delete. The folder is not empty and contained both
hidden files and folders as well as read only folders. As part of my
troubleshooting, I disabled Read only and (unhided???) all the folders.

Thanks

subdirectories.
Directory.Delete(path, True)
Catch e As Exception
MsgBox(e.Message.ToString)
