ASP DeleteMethod
Complete Folder Object Reference Manual
The Delete method deletes the specified file or folder.
Note:If the specified file or folder does not exist, an error occurs. The Delete method used for folders with content is no different from that used for folders without content. Regardless of whether it has content, the specified folder is deleted. Applying the Delete method to a File or Folder produces exactly the same result as performing the operation using FileSystemObject.DeleteFile or FileSystemObject.DeleteFolder.
