IsolatedStorageFile::DeleteDirectory Method (String^)

Namespace:   System.IO.IsolatedStorage
Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)

public:
void DeleteDirectory(
	String^ dir
)

Parameters

dir
Type: System::String^

The relative path of the directory to delete within the isolated storage scope.

The How to: Delete Files and Directories in Isolated Storage example demonstrates the use of the DeleteDirectory method.

// This method deletes directories in the specified Isolated Storage, after first 
// deleting the files they contain. In this example, the Archive directory is deleted. 
// There should be no other directories in this Isolated Storage.
void DeleteDirectories()
{
   try
   {
      IsolatedStorageFile^ isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile::GetStore( static_cast<IsolatedStorageScope>(IsolatedStorageScope::User | IsolatedStorageScope::Assembly | IsolatedStorageScope::Domain), System::Security::Policy::Url::typeid, System::Security::Policy::Url::typeid );
      array<String^>^dirNames = isoFile->GetDirectoryNames( "*" );
      array<String^>^fileNames = isoFile->GetFileNames( "Archive\\*" );

      // Delete the current files within the Archive directory.
      if ( fileNames->Length > 0 )
      {
         for ( int i = 0; i < fileNames->Length; ++i )
         {

            //delete files
            isoFile->DeleteFile( String::Concat("Archive\\", fileNames[ i ]) );

         }
         fileNames = isoFile->GetFileNames( "Archive\\*" );
      }
      if ( dirNames->Length > 0 )
      {
         for ( int i = 0; i < dirNames->Length; ++i )
         {

            // Delete the Archive directory.
            isoFile->DeleteDirectory( dirNames[ i ] );

         }
      }
      dirNames = isoFile->GetDirectoryNames( "*" );
      isoFile->Remove();
   }
   catch ( Exception^ e ) 
   {
      Console::WriteLine( e->ToString() );
   }
