Hi...

Have a look at OS-DELETE and/or OS-COMMAND. The implementation of the OS-DELETE is, from the developers point of view, OS agnostic, but you need to be aware that, depending on the OS and the access privileges to that folder defined on the OS level, you might not succeed with OS-DELETE. OS-COMMAND gives you every freedom to call any OS command or script you want - which might be more appropriate for deleting folders.

Can you give me example code to delete folder with OS-DELETE and/or OS-COMMAND?
thank you...

 

[RealHeavyDude]

Nope. Did you have any look into the documentation to the statements? These are just one-liners ...

Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

lv-Directory = "c:\temp". 
OS-DELETE VALUE(lv-Directory).

Not tested it but should work.

lv-Directory = "c:\temp". 
OS-DELETE VALUE(lv-Directory).

Not tested it but should work.

You made a typo, lv-directory should have been assigned with "c:\users" ;-)

Or just to be safe

lv-Directory = os-getenv("USERPROFILE").
