Answer 1

The rmdir() works only on empty folders... it is working just as it is supposed to. You will first need to get all the files in the folder, loop over them and delete em using the kill command. Once you are done deleting the files, you can removing the folder using rmdir()

Answer 2

Deleting folders in VB is painful and frustrating to say the least.

Essentially you have to do what it said is the problem. A folder cannot be deleted using VB unless all the files are gone, so use the VB command to delete the files, then use rmdir to remove the directory.
