If you get UnauthorizedAccessException . You can use modified of RecursiveDelete from Jone Polvora. Thank you for Idea. I will use it.

    public static void RecursiveDelete(DirectoryInfo baseDir)
    {
        if (!baseDir.Exists)
            return;

        foreach (var dir in baseDir.EnumerateDirectories())
        {
            RecursiveDelete(dir);
        }
        var files = baseDir.GetFiles();
        foreach (var file in files)
        {
            file.IsReadOnly = false;
            file.Delete();
        }
        baseDir.Delete();
    }
