DELETE FOLDER


DELETE FOLDER ( folder )

Parameter	Type	Description
folder	String	Name or full path of the folder to be deleted

The DELETE FOLDER command deletes the folder whose name or full path has been passed in folder.

Only empty folders can be deleted by this command.

If you try to delete a folder containing files, the -47 error is generated (The file is already open, or the folder is not empty).
If you pass a file path in the folder parameter, or an empty string, or the path to a non-existent folder, the command does nothing and generates a -43 error (File not found).
If the folder is locked, the -45 error is generated (The file is locked, or the pathname is not correct).

You can detect these errors through a method installed by the ON ERR CALL command.
