dost0011 Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Hi, i have some problems with deleting a folder. This Folder and its context isn't writeprotected - but I can't delete it at all... If i run it I get the error: "Delete not succesful!" If I want to delete an subdirectory - it works - (if no other directory is in it...) By the way - then I tried filedelete("C:\Programme\AutoIt3\Examples\eigen\*.*") It doesn't work. What is my mistake? Many thanks...delete.au3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvanegmond Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 Some dir attributes can make the removal impossible. Like a read-only flag. Can you delete the directory and its subfolders manually? github.com/jvanegmond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted November 19, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 19, 2009 dost0011,Your code works fine for me in another drive. My bet is that the OS is preventing you from changing anything in C:\Programme - my Vista machine usually asks for admin rights to do anything in C:\Program Files.

I have XP SP 3 + Admin as well. No error. Directory is deleted with subdirectories. Be sure that no program is acessing directory or subdiretories, e.g. explorer or SCITE Editor with an open script.If nothing seems to be wrong, just do a reboot and check again........;-((Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
