I’m deleting a directory from within an ASP.NET application. The deletion goes fine, but when I return from it all my session data from before the delete is lost.
It doesn’t matter whether I use:

                if (Directory.Exists(folderPath))                     Directory.Delete(folderPath, true);

Or: 

                System.IO.DirectoryInfo d = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(folderPath);                 if (d.Exists)                     d.Delete(true);

In both cases I lose my session data.

Has anyone run into this problem?

  1. If you are deleting a subdirectory within your application, your app domain will restart. This removes all session data. To alleviate this issue, only add/remove directories outside your application home directory.
