Delete folder (and subfolders)?

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Programming/Delete folder (and subfolders)?

I've looked through the code archives but I can't see anything that will do the job.

Does anyone have any code that can delete a folder (including all files, and subfolders and their files)?

Basicaly the Blitz equivalent of 'DelTree'.

Write your own function.

Yeah, it looks like you have to run through the folder and do a deletefile on each file, then a deletedir when the folder is emptied :/

It would have to be recursive (calling itself) if the folder contains any sub-folders

You could save the commandline to a batchfile and execfile that: RD /S /Q D:\KeepThisDir\TheDirAndSubdirsToDelete

or write a PureBasic DLL

or get the dll (5kb) from me by email

Thanks RaGR, that will do the trick nicely.
