I have seen questions like What is the best way to empty a directory?
But i need to know,
what is the fastest way of deleting all the files found within the directory, except any .zip files found.
Smells like linq here... or what?
UPDATE: By saying fastest way, i mean the Fastest execution time.

vb 2008 on Vista: I have a folder called "Documents", and another called "PastDocuments". When the user deletes a client, I copy the contents of Documents into the Past Documents folder. Next, I need to delete the Documents folder, but there are existing files within that folder, so it won't let me delete it. What is the easiest way to delete ALL files within that folder?

I have some code that launches a .bat file. The error comes from within the .bat file, navigating to the specified directory."F/Program Files/ Tversity/Media Server/data/ if i run cmd, then manually navigate to F/program files, i cannot navigate into any other directory within program files. Wierd..if there is an easier option to just use vb.net without launching a .bat that might help please let me know. i know i am not showing any vb.net code, but it just launches a .bat file. i know the forum rules, but i am hoping that someone might know why i can't navigate to my program files. it is not permissions, i am an admin on the local machine no domain.

So I have a program that allows the user to load up some images, which appear in a ListBox. You can click the imported images and they load into a PictureBox. [code]The path is not of a legal form.You can load up the code and see for yourself. Now I need to be able to delete these images from the ListBox. The exception occurs because the image is now null, and can't load.

I'm experiencing a wierd problem deleting some .csv files. Any .csv files named 1.csv, 2.csv, or 3.csv will not delete using delete() method of system.io namespace. if i do any number greater than 3 it works. For example, 4.csv, 5.csv, etc. works fine. 1.xls, 2.xls also is ok. The error it is throwing in my log is 'access to the file is denied.' Nothing is using the file. I even copied a new file into the directory and it does not work. I even created a 1.csv in a totally different directory with no luck. What is going on with this? Has anyone ever experienced this?

Each time it runs, a program of mine creates an Excel document and names it using the current date ("Alerts from 29062011.xlsx" for example). The program gets run once a day,every day.The users have requested that I have the program delete the previous days Excel file each time it runs so that they don't take up space. I'm unsure how to do this though since, for example, if it is run on the first day of the month it would have to know

My naming convention for certain files is ------------kill 28 nov 2010.ext Is there a way I can throw an if statement and a few variables together to check each file in a folder and if date.today = variable then delete file? I want to make a program i can schedule to run daily w/task scheduler, I haven't used VB in awhile but just found the disks from school so i figured this was the easiest way to go about it.

I am concatinating a couple of text files and then deleting the individual files. (Not the output file)
The only problem is that I am getting a permission error "Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A0046 (CTL_E_PERMISSIONDENIED)" when I try to delete the files.
I can delete the files using the code below if I do not concatinate the files but as soon as I do I cannot delete them.
To concatinate:
Public Sub MeltText()
Dim SW As New IO.StreamWriter(OutPutFile)
Dim Files As String() = IO.Directory.GetFiles(StartDirectory, "*.txt")
Dim File As String
SW.WriteLine("Sw

how to even start a code project of this sort but here it goes... I have an external Hard Drive with some music. My itunes makes duplicates of all my songs so this is what i have.
Dance.mp3
Dance 1.mp3
Dance 2.mp3
Dance 3.mp3
Party.mp3

What I want to do is have the program search the files and delete all files that have a duplicate with a number behind it... Now I would use windows search but some of the songs are like 1001.mp3 or 1001 1.mp3... I want it to look like this when i get done (from the above):

I have created a project where I can attach files and I am displaying the name of the file, example:
Mytestfile.doc
mytestfile.txt
Mytestfile.pdf
I have the names being displayed on a listbox, so far everything is working just the way I expected to work.When a file is selected from my opendialogbox, the file gets saved into a folder under my local disk, so far so good.The problem that I am having is deleting the file from the folder.I have added a delete button and I would like to when I click or highlight one of the file names to go into where the file was saved previously and deleted This is the code that I have for the delete funtion:
[CODE Dim sFileName As String = "C:program filesSupport DeskAttachments" & ListBox1.Text
System.IO.File.Delete(sFileName)][/code]
The problem is that if I add the code to the clcik event under the listbox, it works great, but if I add the code to the click event under my delete button, it doesn't work, what I found is that under the path, if I am under the click event from the listbox when it gets to the lisxtbox.text it displays the file name, which is what I whant, but when i tried the code under the click event under my delete button the listbox.text is blank.

I have a series of large files (4GB) that when I delete takes a very long time. This only occurs on a USB drive that I have attached to my PC. If I do the same thing on the internal drive the files delete quickly. It is as if the files are being overwritten before being deleted. I am looking for some guidance or other approaches.

Why are my new (moved to) text files deleting after the move?
If TextBox1.Text = "* DISPLAY SCROLL 10 *" Then
Dim D10A As StreamReader = File.OpenText("LINE 3 UNITS.txt")
D10A.Close()
[code]....
the file "line 3 units.txt" contains 3 choices. what I need to do is write one of these selections to the new file "line 3 units new.txt" then recognize the contents of this file to control a boolean statement.
Dim W As String = (D10B)
If W.ToLower.Contains("load") Then
LIN3LD = True
[code]....
I end up with 2 known problems.
1) The new text files delete
2) if the file doesn't delete (for whatever reason) the CONTAIN statement doesn't recognize either "load" or "speed"

I am having a _ton_ of issues, and I am hoping some of you could clear it up...
1. OK So a while back someone showed me an example for fonts from resources, but I noticed if you close the window that it opens, The entire program shuts down... what can I do to fix it?Also, The fonts are not showing up on all computers, only this one....
2. I am trying to delete a image file, which the program downloads from the internet, and can change regularly, but when I try to delete it will not delete. It says its in use, and I cant figure out where.
3. I am trying to play videos using the following
vb
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Integer, ByVal hwndCallback As Integer) As Integer
Const WS_CHILD As Integer = &H40000000
[code]....
Now, I have confirmed the files it is attempting to play are in fact valid video files. It refuses to play all but the last one.
