Take a look at SHFileOperation and SHFileOptStruct in the Win API help.

The shFileOperation API can do just that.

Not really, but you could ShellExecute 'deltree' with the proper
commands...

Deltree is not available on NT. The code should probably look something
like:

if bThisIsWindows9X then begin
Execute( 'deltree', sPath );
end
else begin
Execute( 'rmdir /s', spath );
end;
