How to remove a directory in C#

[MACE]

How to remove a directory? I am stucked. What I do:

The string is my_test = @ "c:\my folder\my subfolder\dir1\dir2\myfile.txt";

In case 1: I would like to remove from myfile.txt, dir1 and all files and subfolder

In case 1: I would always delete myfile.txt from dir2 and all the files ..

That must now surely be simple, but since I am newbie I need your help.

Is actually quite simple. It is used System.IO. Then you have two methods to delete. First delete files from other directories. Necessarily if you delete the folders you delete the files they contain.

Deleting a file:

PATH = @"c:\my folder\my subfolder\dir1\dir2\myfile.txt";
File.Delete(PATH);

Remove directory:

PATH = @"c:\my folder\my subfolder\dir1\";
Directory.Delete(PATH);

After assuming full path, you must excerpts directory path, for example through the split.

String _Dir1= PATH.Split('\\')[3];

Remove directory:

PATH = @"c:\my folder\my subfolder\dir1\";
Directory.Delete(PATH);

to delete a directory and all subdirectory and all files it contains, I think we should add a 2nd parameter

Directory. Delete ( PATH, true ) ;

[void]

To find the folder containing a file:

System.IO.FileInfo fi = new System.IO.FileInfo(fichier);
MessageBox.Show(fi.Directory.FullName);

To find the parent folder of a directory:

System.IO.DirectoryInfo di = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(fi.Directory.FullName);
MessageBox.Show(di.FullName);

After you juggle these 2 functions depending on the desired level of deletion with System.IO.Directory.Delete (directory, true).

The second parameter of type Boolean indicates recursion.
