Directory.Delete will throw an exception on the first error it encounters. If you want to continue deleting as many files and subdirectories as you can then you shouldn't use Directory.Delete and should write your own recursive delete with try/catch blocks inside the loops. An example when you might want to do that is if you are trying to cleanup temp files and one of the files has been locked.
