VB.Net Delete all files in folder

Question

I am trying to delete all files from single folder in VB.Net but to keep that folder.

As far as i know, i can delete files by this way:

Dim heart17 As System.IO.FileInfo = New IO.FileInfo("path")
heart17.Delete()

And it works, but i need to empty a whole folder.

The folder path is

C:\\Users\\username\\Desktop\\Games .

I've read this question , but it doesn't work for me (it has some errors or i did something wrong).

• "*.jpg" - selects all jpg files.

• "*.txt" - selects all text files.

• "*123.txt" selects all text files whose name ends with 123

Dim directoryName As String = "your path here"
For Each deleteFile In Directory.GetFiles(directoryName ,"*.*",SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
    File.Delete(deleteFile)
