Question

I have a VBScript program that creates a folder in the user’s temp folder:

set fso = CreateObject("scripting.FileSystemObject")
temp = fso.GetSpecialFolder(2)
dropzone = temp & "\{d450c76c-2ad8-4f73-af8a-ccc5ba28036a}\"

If Not fso.FolderExists(dropzone) Then 
    set NewFolder = fso.CreateFolder(dropzone)
End If
set NewFolder = Nothing

At the end of the program, I would like to delete that folder. I tried this but it gives me a permission denied error:

set deletefolder = fso.GetFolder(dropzone)
deletefolder.Delete(True) 
set fso = Nothing

@giodamelio Weirdly enough, I put the line msgBox dropzone before your code and it worked. When I comment out the msgbox it wont work?

• Your code or pc is too fast! 😀
• You probably don’t dispose/close files you use or store in that folder (or not closed correctly)
