Hi,

Ihave 2 small questions:

1. Is the only way to deltet a directory including the files in that
directory to first chdir to directory, then remove all the files and at last
rmdir the directory? Or is there something lijke the UNIX-command rm -r *

2. How can I determine the size of a directory? Like in the prperties of a
directory where the size is diplayed in MB.

Thanks.

In this case you need to destroy the folder and create it again.

dim fso as new filesystemobject
dim pathTofolderToNuke as string
pathTofolderToNuke = "c:\winnt"

fso.deletefolder(pathTofolderToNuke ,true)
fso.createfolder pathTofolderToNuke

The true tells fso to force, and dont care about readonly files etc.

After this the folder is

Here i guess you need to make a collection of files and then sum up the
size.
