Is there a function to delete all files in a folder?
what is the best way to do that?

Isn't this the wrong Newsgroup? |
But anyway: try to look for Findfirst/Findnext which would give you the
filenames (like DIR in DOS) and then look for AssignFile and erase.
This should be found in the help. The necessary loop is then easy to
construct for you I hope.

Wrong group, but another way is the Windows API SHFileOperation. This is
what Windows Explorer uses and lets you delete, recycle, move, or copy files
and directories.
You can download a free component wrapping this from
