I have created some folders and some files using VB.net 2003 and I want to
delete everything after I have finished but I can't deleat the folders
because there is a .lck file in each one.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you mean you have a database open within these folders?

What type of files were created within them?
 
**** dotnet it doesn't work right anywhere

and the framework is not on any machines

anything that prohibits you from deleting files or folders when you
have permissions is MALWARE by definition


uninstall DOTNET _CRAP_

It has nothing to do with .NET, you just can't delete non-empty folders.
 
Hi Thanks for the reply. It is not a database the files are created to
resolve linked paths then once the files are resolved they are relocated and
everything deleted. The problem is the lock files prevent me deleting the
folders all the files are deleted OK. Closing the program deletes the lock
files and i can manually delete the folders.
I need to delete the folders while the program is running.

Yes pooch, in explorer, because explorer does recursive delete. Try
deleting a non empty folder in VB6, you can't.

Then I guess you'll have to provide more information on how you're
creating those folders, and to which code you're passing them... It
seems it's a specific issue of the actual code you're using.
