下面的示例显示了如何做到这一点。它首先创建一些目录和文件，然后通过Directory.Delete（topPath，true）；：

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        string topPath = @"C:\NewDirectory";
        string subPath = @"C:\NewDirectory\NewSubDirectory";

        try
        {
            Directory.CreateDirectory(subPath);

            using (StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(subPath + @"\example.txt"))
            {
                writer.WriteLine("content added");
            }

            Directory.Delete(topPath, true);

            bool directoryExists = Directory.Exists(topPath);

            Console.WriteLine("top-level directory exists: " + directoryExists);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("The process failed: {0}", e.Message);
        }
    }

它取自https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fxeahc5f（v=vs.110）.aspx。

System.IO.Directory.Delete(installPath, true);
System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(installPath);

以下代码将递归清除文件夹：

private void clearFolder(string FolderName)
{
    DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(FolderName);

    foreach(FileInfo fi in dir.GetFiles())
    {
        fi.Delete();
    }

    foreach (DirectoryInfo di in dir.GetDirectories())
    {
        clearFolder(di.FullName);
        di.Delete();
    }
}

是的，这是正确的方法。如果你想给自己一个“干净”（或者，我更喜欢称之为“空”函数），你可以创建一个扩展方法。

public static void Empty(this System.IO.DirectoryInfo directory)
{
    foreach(System.IO.FileInfo file in directory.GetFiles()) file.Delete();
    foreach(System.IO.DirectoryInfo subDirectory in directory.GetDirectories()) subDirectory.Delete(true);
}

然后，这将允许您执行以下操作：。。

System.IO.DirectoryInfo directory = new System.IO.DirectoryInfo(@"C:\...");

directory.Empty();

此版本不使用递归调用，并解决了只读问题。

public static void EmptyDirectory(string directory)
{
    // First delete all the files, making sure they are not readonly
    var stackA = new Stack<DirectoryInfo>();
    stackA.Push(new DirectoryInfo(directory));

    var stackB = new Stack<DirectoryInfo>();
    while (stackA.Any())
    {
        var dir = stackA.Pop();
        foreach (var file in dir.GetFiles())
        {
            file.IsReadOnly = false;
            file.Delete();
        }
        foreach (var subDir in dir.GetDirectories())
        {
            stackA.Push(subDir);
            stackB.Push(subDir);
        }
    }

    // Then delete the sub directories depth first
    while (stackB.Any())
    {
        stackB.Pop().Delete();
    }
}

string directoryPath = "C:\Temp";
Directory.GetFiles(directoryPath).ToList().ForEach(File.Delete);
Directory.GetDirectories(directoryPath).ToList().ForEach(Directory.Delete);
