Hi,

if a folder contains a symbolic link it doesn't get deleted; solution is to patch this

bool DeleteFolderDeep(const char *dir)
{
	{
		FindFile ff(AppendFileName(dir, "*.*"));
		while(ff) {
			String name = ff.GetName();
			String p = AppendFileName(dir, name);
			if(ff.IsFile())
				FileDelete(p);
			else
			if(ff.IsFolder())
				DeleteFolderDeep(p);
			ff.Next();
		}
	}
	return DirectoryDelete(dir);
}

to this

bool DeleteFolderDeep(const char *dir)
{
	{
		FindFile ff(AppendFileName(dir, "*.*"));
		while(ff) {
			String name = ff.GetName();
			String p = AppendFileName(dir, name);
			if(ff.IsFile() || ff.IsSymLink())
				FileDelete(p);
			else
			if(ff.IsFolder())
				DeleteFolderDeep(p);
			ff.Next();
		}
	}
	return DirectoryDelete(dir);
}

In order to have symlinks deleted too.

Ciao

Max
