  Hi All, I am new this community. i have a small query. i have 60,000 files in my folder. i want to delete 50,000 files among them at a single stretch using .net (any language C#/ASP/VB). i don't want to delete the whole folder. apart from using "for each" in .net could any one tell me the best way to do it.
