how to check if a directory exists or not?
I am trying to check if a directory exist or not , if yes delete the contents and new contents
On Error Resume Next
ad = File1.Path & "\" & ab
Fpath = File1.Path
If (GetAttr(ab) And vbDirectory) Then
Kill (File1.Path & "\" & ab & "\*.*")
Else
MkDir (ad)
End If
My file path is K:\Apps\CBS\MCI\0728 and it has to check for another 0728 directory in that..

here is some code. I may have missed a piece.
just run it with break points and look to see if this will work for you.
dim MYPath as string =" K:\Apps\CBS\MCI\0728"
Imports System.IO
Public Sub GetALLFiles(byval MYPath as string)
' Create a reference to the current directory.
Dim di As New DirectoryInfo(MYPath)
' Create an array representing the files in the current directory.
Dim fi As FileInfo() = di.GetFiles()
Dim fiTemp As FileInfo
For Each fiTemp In fi
If fiTemp.Exists = true Then
fiTemp.delete
End If
Next fiTemp
End Sub
