You can also read the help file for this function and build a CallBackFunction for you action that will track or show the Delete process.

if, I have read the aid on file.delete callbackfuntion, but it is that not like doing scrip so that it shows the total to me of eliminated bytes aid please

CallbackFunction
(function) The name of a function that will be called whenever progress is made in the delete operation. (You can use this callback function to display the progress of the delete operation in your own custom way.)

Note: If CallbackFunction is set to nil, then the progress information will be sent to the built-in status dialog, assuming it is currently visible. (You can show or hide the status dialog with a StatusDlg.Show or StatusDlg.Hide action.)

The callback function must be able to receive the following parameters:

Source
(string) The source path of the file being deleted.

Deleted
(number) The number of bytes deleted so far.

Total
(number) The total bytes that will be deleted.

The callback function should return a boolean value (true or false) indicating whether the delete operation should continue:

VALUE
 DESCRIPTION
 
true
 Continue with the delete operation.
 
false
 Stop the delete operation as soon as possible.

Well 'delete' is not scrapping the file byte by byte when deleting it... it merely removes it's reference in the file allocation table, AFAIK.

use Dermot's xfoldersize dll to get the size of the temp folder b4 you delete the contents
