removing readonly from folder, its sub folders and all the files in it

Question

is there a way that i can remove the property \"read only\"?

i tried this:

var di = new DirectoryInfo(\"C:\\\\Work\");
                di.Attributes &         


        

Answer 1

Almost, try:

var di = new DirectoryInfo("C:\\Work");

foreach (var file in di.GetFiles("*", SearchOption.AllDirectories)) 
    file.Attributes &= ~FileAttributes.ReadOnly;
