LabVIEW
Deleting a directory
It only deletes directories that are empty.
Just use "List diretory" first, use the "file names" output array and delete them in a FOR loop, then delete the folder.

There is a gotcha. You have to provide the path to the directory and
make sure that directoy is empty before it will work. Basically this
means a recursive algorithme which isn't to difficult to implement in
LabVIEW if you once know how to do it.
However there is no need to invent the wheel again as on
http://www.openg.org there is the OpenG Toolkit which has in its File
library just that Delete Recursive function.
