Using C#, how can I delete all files and folders from a directory, but still keep the root directory?
I have this
System.IO.DirectoryInfo downloadedMessageInfo = new DirectoryInfo(GetMessageDownloadFolderPath());
foreach (FileInfo file in downloadedMessageInfo.GetFiles())
{
file.Delete();
}
foreach (DirectoryInfo dir in downloadedMessageInfo.GetDirectories())
{
dir.Delete(true);
}
Is this the cleanest way to do it?
