  You've tried DzDir.rmDir() ?

  Yes... Maybe I'm doing it wrong.. Can you post some sample code that you know works?

  This works - comment out the rmdir line on first run so you can see the folders created, then try it again and it will remove the expendable folder.

  testDir = new DzDir( "c:/test/expendable" );
  // If successful...
  if ( testDir ) {
   // .... try to create the path, if it doesn't already exist
   if ( testDir.mkpath( "c:/test/expendable" ) ) {
    testDir.rmdir();
   }
  }

  Richard, Does the folder have to be empty to remove it?

  I would expect so, yes. It's like the DOS command, which as I recall worked only on empty folders (unlike killtree, or whatever it was, or the Windows delete key in Explorer)
