object

Required. Always the name of a FileSystemObject.

folderspec

Required. The name of the folder to delete. The folderspec can contain wildcard characters in the last path component.

force

Optional. Boolean value that is true if folders with the read-only attribute set are to be deleted; false (default) if they are not.

The DeleteFolder method does not distinguish between folders that have contents and those that do not. The specified folder is deleted regardless of whether or not it has contents.

An error occurs if no matching folders are found. The DeleteFolder method stops on the first error it encounters. No attempt is made to roll back or undo any changes that were made before an error occurred.

The following example illustrates the use of the DeleteFolder method.

JScript	Copy Code
function DeleteFolder(folderspec) { var fso; fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject"); fso.DeleteFolder(folderspec); }

Visual Basic Script	Copy Code
Sub DeleteAFolder(filespec) Dim fso Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") fso.DeleteFolder(filespec) End Sub
