VB.NET = Click button that deletes files - Formula 1 - May 27, 2017
I want to make a program that deletes all the files in a desktop folder...
* - VmX5 - May 27, 2017
Well get a list of files in the desktop directory and delete each file. It's pretty self explanatory...

Look into system.io and use loops.

Use system.io and use a for loop to delete the amount of things in the selected folder

He's obviously looking for someone just to paste him the exact code to do it with no interest of learning.

System.io, learn it yourself otherwise you''re not progressing

I don't know if this is exactly what you want but:
PHP Code
<?php
Sub DeleteFilesFromFolder(Folder As String)
If Directory.Exists(Folder) Then
For Each _file As String In Directory.GetFiles(Folder)
File.Delete(_file)
Next
For Each _folder As String In Directory.GetDirectories(Folder)
DeleteFilesFromFolder(_folder)
Next
End If
End Sub
'Somewhere you call
DeleteFilesFromFolder("C:\New Folder")

You can just delete folders instead of deleting all files from folders.
