If Windows Scripting is installed on the machine, I think using the
FileSystemObject's DeleteFolder method will do what you want.

I never use it can you tell me how can i do...!
Now i try with API shell32 with Trash Simulator, work good, bat
i retrive Error if I have Folder-ManySubFolder-ManyFiles ....!
I'm using Access and I'm Linking BE in SubFolder with BE(switch) sistem.
I really think that the problem it's about the Fast Deleting.
Before Delete i remove Link, and all Immage.Picture connection, but
nothing to do.....!
If i delete each Files in each SubFolder with Kill and RemDir all OK....!

Sorry about my English very bad....!

Thanks.

I don't know for sure that this method will avoid the problem you're
having but this works in my simple test:

'---- start of example code ----
Sub DeleteFolder(FolderPath As String)

Dim fs As Object

Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

fs.DeleteFolder FolderPath

Set fs = Nothing

End Sub

'---- end of example code ----

Then you could call it like this:

DeleteFolder "C:\Temp\DoomedFolder"

It's much better than my Italian (which is non-existent).

That could be. I can't tell from what you've written exactly what error
you are getting, but it may be something you're going to have to track
down yourself. I suppose you could try using Explorer to attempt to
delete all the files and folders yourself manually, with the application
in the same state as it would be in if you were calling DeleteFolder().
Then you might see a message at least telling you what file or folder is
causing the problem.
