vb.net - delete folder then create it, but not exists

Question

In vs2010, there is a vb.net project, I need to clean a folder before use it, what I did is remote the folder, then create it again. but the problem is ,it is removed but not created again.

I think maybe .net did some optimization. So how can I fix that?

Here is the code:

    ' delete folder
    If IO.Directory.Exists(exportBaseFolder) = True Then
        IO.Directory.Delete(exportBaseFolder, True)
    End If

    ' create folder
    IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(exportBaseFolder)

You could try Directory.GetFiles and foreach file, file.delete. Then delete the folder. Then if not folder exists, create it.
