Delete folder with spaces in path

Show all headers | View raw

I'm trying to delete a folder in the 'Program Files'. But I don't see why this wont work...
Here's the code I'm trying:

Sub DeleteAFolder(filespec)
	Dim fso
	Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	fso.DeleteFolder(filespec)
End Sub

DeleteAFolder("C:\Program Files\TestFolder")


Result: "Permission denied"

I also tried:

Sub DeleteAFolder(filespec)
	Dim fso
	Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	fso.DeleteFolder(filespec)
End Sub

DeleteAFolder("""C:\Program Files\TestFolder""")


Result: "Path not found"


Any ideas?
