I know how to make a button which will navigate to specific folders, but I do not know how to make a specific folder to delete itself by a code. I will try to research that. Meanwhile, maybe Brandonio knows and will respond.

I believe that you are looking for something like this:

Code:
Dim DirectoryInfo As New System.IO.DirectoryInfo(Environment.SpecialFolder.Cookies)

        Dim FileInfo() As System.IO.FileInfo = DirectoryInfo.GetFiles("*", IO.SearchOption.AllDirectories)

        For Each f In FileInfo

            My.Computer.FileSystem.DeleteFile(f.FullName)

        Next
