#Dir.Delete

##Syntax Dir.Delete (directoryPathName : string)

##Description Dir.Delete is used to delete the directory specified by the parameter directoryPathName. This is the equivalent of doing a rmdir in DOS or UNIX. On the Macintosh, it removes a folder.

Dir.Delete will fail if it attempts delete a directory that has files in it.

##Details If the Dir.Delete call fails, then Error.Last will return a non-zero value indicating the reason for the failure. Error.LastMsg will return a string which contains the textual version of the error.

##Example This program deletes the directory called information.

    Dir.Delete ("information")
    if Error.Last = eNoError then
        put "Directory delete"
    else
        put "Did not delete the directory."
        put "Error: ", Error.LastMsg
    end if

##Example An example demonstrating the use of several of the Dir subprogramsis available. In this example, a directory is created, a file is writtento the directory, an attempt is made to delete the directory, the file isdeleted, and then the directory is deleted.

This example demonstrates the use of Dir.Change, Dir.Current, Dir.Create, and Dir.Delete.

##Status Exported qualified.

This means that you can only call the function by calling Dir.Delete, not by calling Delete.
