如上所述，“可接受的”解决方案在重解析点上失败。 有一个更短的解决方案可以正确地复制功能:

public static void rmdir(string target, bool recursive)
{
    string tfilename = Path.GetDirectoryName(target) +
        (target.Contains(Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString()) ? Path.DirectorySeparatorChar.ToString() : string.Empty) +
        Path.GetRandomFileName();
    Directory.Move(target, tfilename);
    Directory.Delete(tfilename, recursive);
}

我知道，不能处理后面提到的权限情况，但是FAR BETTER提供了原始/stock Directory.Delete()的预期功能，而且代码也少得多。

您可以安全地进行处理，因为旧的dir将被清除……即使没有消失，因为“文件系统仍在追赶”(或任何借口，微软提供了一个坏的功能)。

作为一个好处，如果你知道你的目标目录是大/深的，并且不想等待(或麻烦的异常)，最后一行可以替换为:

    ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem((o) => { Directory.Delete(tfilename, recursive); });

你仍然可以安全地继续工作。

我今天遇到了这个问题。这是因为我有windows资源管理器打开目录，试图删除，导致递归调用失败，从而IOException。确保没有打开该目录的句柄。

此外，MSDN明确表示，您不必编写自己的回避:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fxeahc5f.aspx

你不必创建一个额外的递归方法或删除额外文件夹内的文件。这些都是通过调用自动完成的

DirectoryInfo.Delete ();

详情在这里。

像这样的东西效果很好:

  var directoryInfo = new DirectoryInfo("My directory path");
    // Delete all files from app data directory.

    foreach (var subDirectory in directoryInfo.GetDirectories())
    {
          subDirectory.Delete(true);// true set recursive paramter, when it is true delete sub file and sub folder with files too
    }

将true作为变量传递给delete方法，将删除包含文件的子文件和子文件夹。

这个答案基于:https://stackoverflow.com/a/1703799/184528。与我的代码不同的是，我们只递归许多删除子目录和文件时，需要调用目录。第一次尝试删除失败(这可能是因为windows资源管理器查看目录)。

    public static void DeleteDirectory(string dir, bool secondAttempt = false)
    {
        // If this is a second try, we are going to manually 
        // delete the files and sub-directories. 
        if (secondAttempt)
        {
            // Interrupt the current thread to allow Explorer time to release a directory handle
            Thread.Sleep(0);

            // Delete any files in the directory 
            foreach (var f in Directory.GetFiles(dir, "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
                File.Delete(f);

            // Try manually recursing and deleting sub-directories 
            foreach (var d in Directory.GetDirectories(dir))
                DeleteDirectory(d);

            // Now we try to delete the current directory
            Directory.Delete(dir, false);
            return;
        }

        try
        {
            // First attempt: use the standard MSDN approach.
            // This will throw an exception a directory is open in explorer
            Directory.Delete(dir, true);
        }
        catch (IOException)
        {
            // Try again to delete the directory manually recursing. 
            DeleteDirectory(dir, true);
        }
        catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
        {
            // Try again to delete the directory manually recursing. 
            DeleteDirectory(dir, true);
        } 
    }

现代异步回答

公认的答案是完全错误的，它可能适用于某些人，因为从磁盘获取文件所花费的时间释放了锁定文件的任何东西。事实上，这是因为文件被其他进程/流/操作锁定了。其他答案使用Thread。Sleep (Yuck)在一段时间后重试删除目录。这个问题需要一个更现代的答案来重新审视。

public static async Task<bool> TryDeleteDirectory(
   string directoryPath,
   int maxRetries = 10,
   int millisecondsDelay = 30)
{
    if (directoryPath == null)
        throw new ArgumentNullException(directoryPath);
    if (maxRetries < 1)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(maxRetries));
    if (millisecondsDelay < 1)
        throw new ArgumentOutOfRangeException(nameof(millisecondsDelay));

    for (int i = 0; i < maxRetries; ++i)
    {
        try
        {
            if (Directory.Exists(directoryPath))
            {
                Directory.Delete(directoryPath, true);
            }

            return true;
        }
        catch (IOException)
        {
            await Task.Delay(millisecondsDelay);
        }
        catch (UnauthorizedAccessException)
        {
            await Task.Delay(millisecondsDelay);
        }
    }

    return false;
}

单元测试

这些测试展示了一个被锁定的文件如何导致目录的示例。删除失败以及上面的TryDeleteDirectory方法如何修复这个问题。

[Fact]
public async Task TryDeleteDirectory_FileLocked_DirectoryNotDeletedReturnsFalse()
{
    var directoryPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
    var subDirectoryPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "SubDirectory");
    var filePath = Path.Combine(directoryPath, "File.txt");

    try
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);
        Directory.CreateDirectory(subDirectoryPath);

        using (var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write))
        {
            var result = await TryDeleteDirectory(directoryPath, 3, 30);
            Assert.False(result);
            Assert.True(Directory.Exists(directoryPath));
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        if (Directory.Exists(directoryPath))
        {
            Directory.Delete(directoryPath, true);
        }
    }
}

[Fact]
public async Task TryDeleteDirectory_FileLockedThenReleased_DirectoryDeletedReturnsTrue()
{
    var directoryPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString());
    var subDirectoryPath = Path.Combine(Path.GetTempPath(), "SubDirectory");
    var filePath = Path.Combine(directoryPath, "File.txt");

    try
    {
        Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryPath);
        Directory.CreateDirectory(subDirectoryPath);

        Task<bool> task;
        using (var fileStream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.Write))
        {
            task = TryDeleteDirectory(directoryPath, 3, 30);
            await Task.Delay(30);
            Assert.True(Directory.Exists(directoryPath));
        }

        var result = await task;
        Assert.True(result);
        Assert.False(Directory.Exists(directoryPath));
    }
    finally
    {
        if (Directory.Exists(directoryPath))
        {
            Directory.Delete(directoryPath, true);
        }
    }
}

我已经解决了这个千年技术(你可以离开线程。睡在自己的捕捉)

bool deleted = false;
        do
        {
            try
            {
                Directory.Delete(rutaFinal, true);                    
                deleted = true;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                string mensaje = e.Message;
                if( mensaje == "The directory is not empty.")
                Thread.Sleep(50);
            }
        } while (deleted == false);
