- Create a folder and configure its
attributes.
- Modify a folder and configure its
attributes.
- Delete a folder and its contents.
- Delete a folder only if it is empty.
- Delete all files within a folder (such as a
temporary files folder) without deleting the folder.
- Delete all files within a folder without
deleting subfolders.
