In this blog we are going to see how to delete all the files and sub directories from the specified path.

Used Namespaces:

Used Helper method:

    //Delete all the files from the path.

        void DeleteAllFiles(DirectoryInfo diPath)

        {

            //Gets the files from the specific directory

            foreach (FileInfo fiCurrFile in diPath.GetFiles())

            {

                fiCurrFile.Delete();

            }

 

            //Getting Sub directories

            foreach (DirectoryInfo diSubFolder in diPath.GetDirectories())

            {

                DeleteAllFiles(diSubFolder); // Call recursively for all subfolders

            }

        }
