How to Delete a Folder

Postby wirecad » Fri Feb 17, 2006 6:59 pm

I am trying to clean up after uninstall and am now able to delete all the misc. files (delete files recursive) but I can't get the $TARGETDIR$ folder deleted.

Any ideas?

You can try calling Delete Files Recursive before Apply Uninstall. You are creating $TARGETDIR$ as part of your setup, right?

$TARGETDIR$ is the main installation folder.

Calling Delete Files Recursive won't mess with Windows Installer?

No, it should be safe to use.
