Deleting All Selected Checked filesThank you in advance for any and all assistance. I have an application that
pulls files, folders and registry keys of installed programs. I'm wanting to with a context menu selection of "Delete Selected", delete "ALL" of the checked selected files, folders, registry keys. Can someone show me some code to do this please? eSolTec wrote:

Help has samples for all. Zack,
thank you for your reply, but I'm using a treeview with an array in it and the RegistryKey.Delete from MyComputer didn't work. So I would appreciate someone either taking the time to show me some code for deleting files, folders and registry keys. Thank you again for any and all assistance.

My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKeyTree("Software\MyCompany") My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteDirectory("c:\MyDirectory", FileIO.DeleteDirectoryOption.DeleteAllContents) Generally it's always better that YOU show us what you do. For example my first thought would be that you try to delete something you are not allowed to delete (in which case our code wouldn't work better, also we could provide VB2005 code when you are using VB 2003). Also please always include an accurate description of the result you have instead of just saying it didn't work... -- Patrice "eSolTec, Inc. 501(c)(3)" <eSolTecInc50***@discussions.microsoft.com> a écrit dans le message de news: 6605C142-AD13-4F54-9445-B84F4EA82***@microsoft.com...

Thank you for your tips. I greatly appreciate it. VB 2005 Treeview: tv_Results Code: If MessageBox.Show("Delete all selected registry keys?", "Confirmation", MessageBoxButtons.YesNo, MessageBoxIcon.Question, MessageBoxDefaultButton.Button2) = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.Yes Then Dim FileList As ArrayList My.Computer.Registry.CurrentUser.DeleteSubKey(FileList.ToString) End If Most of the keys are from programs that would be considered rogue or stuborn to find an uninstaller or to uninstall from a computer. I'm building a tech tool for my non-profit organization. Using messagebox to confirm the delete first as you can see.

You'll see this is not
what you expect (it prints out the class name). (plus FileList is empty and I'm not sure what a FileList have to do with registry key names but this is not the problem for now). As you see we would never have spotted this without seeing YOUR code...

I have a Treeview (array list) of items that are registry keys, file names, folder names that I wish to programmatically delete from their locations. Any help for code would be greatly appreicated. Most are Registry Keys that I wish to programmatically delete. I have looked at System.IO and also the RegistryKey.Delete in the MyComputer Class and nothing so far has worked.
