Examples
The following code example uses the Remove method to delete the isolated storage file after its contents have been emptied. The How to: Delete Stores in Isolated Storage example also demonstrates the use of the Remove method.
String[] dirNames = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*");
String[] fileNames = isoFile.GetFileNames("Archive\\*");
// Delete all the files currently in the Archive directory.
if (fileNames.Length > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < fileNames.Length; ++i)
{
// Delete the files.
isoFile.DeleteFile("Archive\\" + fileNames[i]);
}
// Confirm that no files remain.
fileNames = isoFile.GetFileNames("Archive\\*");
}
if (dirNames.Length > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < dirNames.Length; ++i)
{
// Delete the Archive directory.
}
}
dirNames = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*");
isoFile.Remove();
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
Dim dirNames As String() = isoFile.GetDirectoryNames("*")
Dim fileNames As String() = isoFile.GetFileNames("*")
Dim name As String
' List directories currently in this Isolated Storage.
If dirNames.Length > 0 Then
For Each name In dirNames
Console.WriteLine("Directory Name: " & name)
Next name
End If
' List the files currently in this Isolated Storage.

Next name
End If
Remarks
Caution
This method irrevocably removes the entire scope and all contained directories and files.
If any of the directories or files in the store are in use, the removal attempt for the store fails and the store is marked for removal. Any subsequent attempts to modify the store throw an IsolatedStorageException.
