Delete File in VB6 by Iccler on 04-24-2005 at 12:14 PM
I need help deleting a file using VB6. For example, I want to delete C:\doc.txt
Can anyone help me?

You can use
code:
Kill "c:\doc.txt"

Can it be used to delete directories?
RE: Delete File in VB6 by Millenium_edition on 04-24-2005 at 04:08 PM
No, you have to delete every file in every subdirectory, then remove the subdirectories and then remove the dir
code:
RmDir "c:\bla\"
' c:\bla is empty

you have to use dir() to enumerate all the folders & files and then delete every single one of them
