I can't figure out why it's not working. I did everything right.

I even tried just this code:



And it still won't work. Any Idea's?

The make directory command is fine, thats not the problem.

In one of my games, it makes a directory and some temporary files that the game needs for just a second are put in the directory.

However, the game only needs them for a second, so after its done with those files, I tell it to call the Delete Directory command and it doesn't work.

All the files inside the directory are deleted, but the directory itself is still there.

When I run just this:


Make Directory "Blah"
Wait 1000
Delete Directory "Blah"


The directory "Blah" is created, but not deleted, even when I tell it to.
