How to Delete Folder/File on System with C#

File handling:

In any software application we need to do some following tasks:

  • Create new Folder/File.
  • Edit Folder/File.
  • Delete Folder/File

For above type of work in our application we need to use File handling.
Generally we get all examples related to create and edit in lot of websites.
But How to delete the
Folder/File It is not common So I am taking the example how to delete the Directory/File in C#.


Namespace: System.IO

Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)


This Programs is made for console application



//By: Raman

//Purpose: To delete the particular folder in your system

//Code Start

using System.IO;

class deleteFolder

{

protected void delFolder()

{

//delete folder has been created in E:\ drive you can make your any named folder

//Lets assume we have junk images stored in that folder

DirectoryInfo imgInfo = new DirectoryInfo(@"E:\delete");

FileInfo []fileinDir=imgInfo.GetFiles();

for(int i=0;i

{

fileinDir[i].Delete();

}

//delete method will delete the current file

imgInfo.Delete();

}

public static void Main()

{

deleteFolder obj=new deleteFolder ();

obj. delFolder ();

}

}

//Code End



Any Query on file handling would be appreciated
