DeleteFolder method
Deletes a specified folder and its contents.
Syntax
object.DeleteFolder folderspec, [ force ]
The DeleteFolder method syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
|---|---|
| object | Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject. |
| folderspec | Required. The name of the folder to delete. The folderspec can contain wildcard characters in the last path component. |
| force | Optional. Boolean value that is True if folders with the read-only attribute set are to be deleted; False (default) if they are not. |
Remarks
The DeleteFolder method does not distinguish between folders that have contents and those that don't. The specified folder is deleted regardless of whether or not it has contents.
An error occurs if no matching folders are found. The DeleteFolder method stops on the first error it encounters. No attempt is made to roll back or undo any changes that were made before an error occurred.
