He wants to know how to delete a folder with content...
@OP
Use FindFirst/FindNext/FindClose to delete files in the folder then
the folder...
You can probably find a far better way to do this.....

Code: [Select]      Result:=DeleteDirectory(NomeDir,True);
      if Result then begin
        Result:=RemoveDirUTF8(NomeDir);
      end;

DeleteDirectory delete the content. A t the end, if all is ok,
RemoveDirUTF8 delete the folder.
