Following is a C# code snippet to delete a path (file or directory). First we have to determine whether the path is a file or a folder and then call appropriate Delete methods. In case of directory, you can specify whether the contents should be recursively deleted before deleting the directory.

void DeletePath(string path)
{
    try
    {
        FileInfo finfo = new FileInfo(path);
        if (finfo.Attributes == FileAttributes.Directory)
        {
            //recursively delete directory
            Directory.Delete(path, true);
        }
        else if(finfo.Attributes == FileAttributes.Normal)
        {
            File.Delete(path);
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine(ex.Message);
    }
}
