Since you have 'verbose' set, you should be seeing a message on the console
as each file is deleted.
You should see such a message for the 'root' directory.
Do you see such a message?
If you do, is there an error message being printed indicating there is a
problem removing the directory? Can you remove it manually (and what happens
if you can't)?
Don't be concerned with the read-only attribute being set on a directory in
Windows.
That attribute is ignored for directories.
There could be a permission problem, a file open in the folder, etc.
Also, post a complete working example when you post code. That may provide a
clue.
HTH,
Ken
