  hi there,
  
  I am doing an application that will watch a particular directory /folder (FileSystemWatcher) and upload the files and folder that are added or modified in that directory to the share point server.
  
  Now,I want to delete a subfolder in the sharepoint server.
  
  Dim docLibPath As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("DocUploadPath")
  Dim thisProjectWeb As SPWeb = SPControl.GetContextWeb(context)
  thisProjectWeb.AllowUnsafeUpdates = True
  Dim parentfolder As SPFolder = thisProjectWeb.GetFolder(docLibPath)
  oldfolder = parentfolder.SubFolders(oldfoldername)
  parentfolder.SubFolders.Delete(oldfolder.url)
  
  
  it works fine if the oldfoldername=Firstfolder and returns error if the firstfolder contains any subfolder ie
  if oldfoldername=firstfolder/secondfolder.
  
  Can anyone pointout whats the error i am doing here.
  
  Thanks
