Thanks Joe,
It works - I had to change File to folderitem though.
This is what I did...
In the Pushbutton Action event I entered
Dim dir as folderitem
dir = DocumentsFolder.Child("My temp Files")
DeleteFiles (dir)
Then I created a method
Method Name DeleteFiles
Parameters dir as Folderitem
then the code ... as you suggested
for i As Integer = dir.Count DownTo 1
Dim f As File = dir.TrueItem(i)
if f.Directory then DeleteFiles f
f.Delete
next
but I had to change
Dim f As File = dir.TrueItem(i) to Dim f As folderitem = dir.TrueItem(i)
because I keep getting an error - there is no class with this name (File)
Why is that? Am I missing something?
Thanks again Joe.
Lennox.

Well, I'm going to assume you can get a FolderItem to your My Temp
Files folder. Then pass it into a method that looks like this:
Sub DeleteFiles( dir as FolderItem )
for i As Integer = dir.Count DownTo 1
Dim f As File = dir.TrueItem(i)
if f.Directory then DeleteFiles f
f.Delete
next
End Sub
This is a recursive implementation, which is not always ideal, but it
sure is easy in cases like this. It's also light on error-checking...
but hey, it's just sample code; you can't expect us to write your whole
app for you. :)
Cheers,
- Joe
