I'm copying over some files to a target directory on a daily basis.Before I move the new files over, I'd like to delete the old files under the target folder, possibly using System.IO.Directory.Delete()But my problem is, the target folder is on a public drive where everybody in the company could access, and I don't want to empty the folder while someone else might be using those files.I'm thinking whether there's a Class that check the status on the files in a specific directory before I come in and delete everything.(I know I would get an IOException if I disregard the status of the files and try to delete them)

I created a program which was deleting a particular directory for me. The program was compiled and working. Today I run the same program...did not do any system updates and now it won't delete my specified directory. I ran tests to make sure the directory is there when testing...I keep getting access/permission errors.
I rebooted system, ran my application...still gave me error. I turned off Windows Defender...still got error. If I manually delete the directory...no problem.
Is there a way to get system permission to delete the directory? I am being given an 'access denied' error...I do not have permission. I tried running my application as administrator...no good. - VB 2008 Express - VISTA OS

I have a SQL Server table with a list of files (path + filename), and a folder with multiple layers and files in each layer. I'm looking for a way to reconcile the two without having to process the list twice. Currently, I'm doing this:
For Each f as FileInfo In FileListFromDatabase
If f.Exists is False, mark it as deleted in the database
Next
[Code]....
Is there a better way to do this? I'd like to avoid converting all the matching files (of which most will be) to FileInfo objects twice. Since I'm a T-SQL developer first, I'm picturing something like an OUTER JOIN of the two lists where they don't match. Something LINQ-ish?

View 3 RepliesI have a text file "deleteme.txt" in the directory
"c:\users\john\temp".
If someone else had that text file on their computer but their user name 'john' was different.. such as
"c:\users\mary\temp"
What would be the code so that that text file will be deleted from that directory under any user name? Like for example you have to go through 'john' in order to get to my "temp" folder... but when I put in "%temp%" it automatically took me to my temp folder.. can I use something like this to be able to delete a file under any user name?
Like maybe something along the lines of:
dim filetodelete as string
filetodeletev="%temp%/deleteme.txt"
if system.io.file.exists(filetodelete) = true then
system.io.file.delete(filetodelete)
But this code doesn't delete the text file 'deleteme.txt' from john or marys computer. What would be the correct way to do this?

I am coding in .NET 2.0 as I am unsure if the server it will live on will have 3.5 installed.
I am developing an application where I have a file url such as
"C:/Tom/Says/Hello/file.txt"
I have in the past removed the directory from the string to leave me with "file.txt", but this time the directory may be different so I cannot just take away "C:/Tom/Says/Hello/" from the string. How can I get rid of the directory location and just leave me with "file.txt" when the directory will be different everytime?
