Recurse Folder [RESOLVED]

[Madboy]

Can you help me with a problem solver in Delphi please

Im trying to delete files from a folder (in my case the IE temp files). I know how to delete all files from a FileListbox, but how do you do it without this? I can use:

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  i: Integer;
begin
  for i:=0 to FileListBox1.Items.Count-1 do
    DeleteFile(FileListBox1.Items[i]);
  FileListBox1.Update;
end;

But thats not what i want, i just want to clean the IE temp crap

Thanks

Surely that would depend on how you populate the listbox in the first place.
Change the code so that instead of adding the file to the listbox you delete it.

Or is there some function to get the listbox to automatically list files??

You need to use the Windows API functions:

Thanks VisualAd, sorry for the non descriptive thread title

So does this link you posted delete the files in the folder, or just the folder?

Thanks again mate

A folder can only be deleted when empty, so it first deletes every file and directory inside the file recursivley and then deletes the folder.
