I know the parent folder is mine so it is safe to delete all below that. Has
anyone else come across deleting directory trees? I appreciate it is
dangerous but I can't see an easy way around it.


MSI doesn't have anything like that. I designed a "NukeFolder" custom action
that added temporary rows to the RemoveFile table but it hasn't bubbled up
the todo list yet.
