DeleteDirectory()

Syntax

Result = DeleteDirectory(Directory$, Pattern$ [, Mode])

Deletes the specified Directory$. Warning, it's a very dangerous function so use it with care. If the Result is 0, the directory hasn't be fully deleted.

The 'Pattern$' should be a valid OS pattern. For example: "*.*" will delete any files in the directory. "*.exe" will delete only the .exe files. By default, a null Pattern$ ("") will delete all the files.

'Mode' is optional and can be a combination of the following values:

  #PB_FileSystem_Recursive: Deletes the directory with all subdirectories.
  #PB_FileSystem_Force    : Deletes even the files which are protected (ReadOnly).
