Hi Ronald First you remove the readonly attribute of all the files. For that you should check all the files in the folder and also the files in the sub folders. After removing readonly attribute you can simply delete it from one line. Check my code. I have written a method to remove the readonly attribute and then delete the folder. Please do not forget to tick 'Do you like this answer' checkbox if this helps you.
