Steve,

I'm probably late to the party on this thread, but why not us  
FSpDelete? If the folder is *empty*  it should do the job. Code  
snippert shown below. It assumes an FSSpec for the folder is  
available (which is probably the case after iterating the files in a  
folder). I always verify the file exists before deleting, so you  
might want to remove that check if you already know. I'm sure Herbie  
has a better solution.

Good luck.

dim as FSSpec fs

if usr FSFileExists(fs)  then fn FSpDelete(fs)
