you can use .Replace which will output the folder without the file name

Code
Dim allPath As String = "C:\Windows\explorer.exe"

MsgBox(IO.Path.GetFileName(allPath)) 'Return "explorer.exe"

MsgBox(IO.Path.GetExtension(allPath)) 'Return ".exe"

MsgBox(IO.Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(allPath)) 'Return "explorer"

MsgBox(IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(allPath)) 'Return "C:\Windows"

MsgBox(IO.Path.GetFullPath(allPath)) 'Return "C:\Windows\explorer.exe"
