Hi All,

 Request your help in calling the windows command to delete all file and folders recursively as the D function rmdirRecurse does not delete file in the permission of the file is readonly in windows 2008 R2

import std.process: execute;
import std.array: empty;
auto RemoveDir () (
auto dFiles = "C:\\Temp\Test1";
auto Step = "run";
if (Step == "run" && !dFiles.empty) {
    version(Windows)
     {
      foreach(d; dFiles) {
      execute(["rmdir.exe","-command", "/S /Q", `~d~`]); } } } return dFiles;
)

void main () {
writeln(RemoveDir);
}

From,
Vino.N

It is faster if you use SHFileOperationW directly on Windows (and also it will ignore readonly attributes):

//not tested
void winrmdir(string path)
{
    import core.sys.windows.shellapi;
    import std.exception : enforce;
    import std.file: FileException;
    import std.utf: toUTF16;

    auto shpath = (path ~ "\0\0").toUTF16();
    SHFILEOPSTRUCTW s;
    s.wFunc = FO_DELETE;
    s.pFrom = shpath.ptr;
    s.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_SILENT | FOF_NOERRORUI;
    enforce!FileException(SHFileOperationW(&s) == 0 && !s.fAnyOperationsAborted);
}
