Question

Well I like this nice piece of code right here it seems to work awesomely but I can’t seem to add any more directories to it

DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\temp"); 

foreach(FileInfo files in dir.GetFiles())
{
    files.Delete();
}

foreach (DirectoryInfo dirs in dir.GetDirectories())
{
    dirs.Delete(true);
}

I would also like to add in special folders as well like History and cookies and such how would I go about doing that (I would like to include at least 4-5 different folders)

Answer 1

Perhaps something like this would help. I did not test it.

public void DeleteDirectoryFolders(DirectoryInfo dirInfo){
    foreach (DirectoryInfo dirs in dirInfo.GetDirectories()) 
    { 
        dirs.Delete(true); 
    } 
}

public void DeleteDirectoryFiles(DirectoryInfo dirInfo) {
    foreach(FileInfo files in dirInfo.GetFiles()) 
    { 
        files.Delete(); 
    } 
}

public void DeleteDirectoryFilesAndFolders(string dirName) {
  DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(dirName); 
  DeleteDirectoryFiles(dir)
  DeleteDirectoryFolders(dir)
}

public void main() {
  List<string> DirectoriesToDelete;
  DirectoriesToDelete.add("c:\temp");
  DirectoriesToDelete.add("c:\temp1");
  DirectoriesToDelete.add("c:\temp2");
  DirectoriesToDelete.add("c:\temp3");
  foreach (string dirName in DirectoriesToDelete) {
    DeleteDirectoryFilesAndFolders(dirName);
  }
}
