Hi Maurice,

This can be done very quickly using the Windows Scripting Host. On machines that have WSH installed, this can be done in one fell swoop in VFP:

FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

if FSO.FolderExists("d:\moo")
  FSO.DeleteFolder("d:\moo")
endif

Windows 98 has WSH built in. You can download it for other machines at: Microsoft Windows Scripting Host
