I guess you'll first have to delete all files in the directory. Try this function: /** * Recursively clear a local directory * * @param string $sourceDir directory to delete * @param integer $level directory level (to avoid deleting the root dir) */ function clearDirectory($sourceDir, $level = 0) { // proceed if source directory exists if (is_dir($sourceDir)) { // read dir contents if ($handle = opendir($sourceDir)) { /* This is the correct way to loop over the directory. */ while(false !== ($dirItem = readdir($handle))) { if ($dirItem != '.' && $dirItem != '..') { // directory if (is_dir($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem)) { clearDirectory($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem, $level + 1); } // file elseif (file_exists($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem)) { unlink($sourceDir . '/' . $dirItem); } } } // remove directory if it's not the root one if ($level > 0) { rmdir($sourceDir); } } closedir($handle); } } It will delete all direcotries and files *inside* the specified directory. So the directory itself will not be deleted. Just call it like this (without trailing shlash!!!): clearDirectory('/path/to/directory'); Hope it works for you. Regards, Torsten Roehr
