Delete a directory

Is there an easy way to delete a directory and all subdirectories as a step in Visual Build Pro?

Thanks,
James

A Run Program command of

%DOSCMD% rd /s /q "drive+path"

would do it.

Hi James,

Hmm, seems to delete everything for me. Looking at my step now I also have the "force" parameter for deleting read-only folders, maybe one of your folders (or subfolders) has the read-only attribute set.

vbld_FSO.DeleteFolder "path", True

Happy Deleting,
-Corey
