            <h1 id="rmdir-statement">RmDir Statement</h1>
<p>Removes an empty directory or folder.</p>
<h2 id="syntax">Syntax</h2>
<pre><code class="language-vbnet">RmDir path</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>path</code>: Required. String expression that identifies the directory or folder to be removed. May include drive.
  If no drive is specified, <code>RmDir</code> removes the directory or folder on the current drive.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="remarks">Remarks</h2>
<ul>
<li>An error occurs if you try to use <code>RmDir</code> on a directory containing files. Use the Kill statement to delete all files before attempting to remove a directory.</li>
<li>An error also occurs if you try to remove a directory that doesn't exist.</li>
<li>The directory must be empty (contain no files or subdirectories) before it can be removed.</li>
<li>The <code>path</code> argument can include absolute or relative paths.</li>
<li>On Windows systems, both forward slashes (/) and backslashes () can be used as path separators.</li>
<li>The directory name can include the drive letter.</li>
<li>You cannot remove the current directory. You must change to a parent or different directory first.</li>
<li>UNC paths are supported on network drives.</li>
<li>To remove a directory tree, you must remove all subdirectories first (working from innermost to outermost).</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2>
