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 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?

So on click of button '2' the folders are cleaned out, and on click of button '3' they are deleted - it works great.Now the problem is, if any of the folders in the directory 'test' are not accessible to the current user, the program throws the exception 'Access to the path is denied.Is it possible to skip folders that are not accessible, and just ignore them, and delete the ones that are accessible?What code needs to be added to enable this ability?
