Simplest way of avoiding recursive calls is by utilising the AllDirectories
option when getting FileSystemInfo
s, like so:
public static void ForceDeleteDirectory(string path)
{
var directory = new DirectoryInfo(path) { Attributes = FileAttributes.Normal };
foreach (var info in directory.GetFileSystemInfos("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories))
{
info.Attributes = FileAttributes.Normal;
}
directory.Delete(true);
}
