kind of...
make this custom tag....
utilDeleteDir.cfm
---------------------------------------------------------------------
<CFDIRECTORY DIRECTORY="#attributes.rootFolder#" NAME="fileList">
<!--- delete files --->
<cfoutput query="fileList" startRow="#request.startRow#">
<cfif type IS "dir">
<cf_utilDeleteDir
rootFolder="#attributes.rootFolder#/#name#">
<cfelse>
<cffile action="delete"
file="#attributes.rootFolder#/#name#">
</cfif>
</cfoutput>
<!--- directory is now empty --->
<cfdirectory action="DELETE" directory="#attributes.rootFolder#">
----------------------------------------------------------------------
now you can call it like this:
<cf_utilDeleteDir rootFolder="C:/myFolder">
and it will be deleted no matter what's inside.
REQUEST.STARTROW depends on the machine's OS. For UNIX set it to 1,
for
WINDOWS set it to 3 (windows ALWAYS returns . and .. as the first two
records and you don't want to mess with these).
The backslash (\) only works in Windows while the forslash (/) works on
Windows and UNIX.

Hello cf friends,
Is there a way to force cfdirectory to delete a directory even if it is
not
empty?
