Answered file limit in folder

[ExEdzy]

Hey guys.
So i make a program that saves text files in one folder, but what i need is to make the file limit in folder..

For example, i have limit 200 files, and when i add a new file, how do i delete the oldest one, or if the limit is changed to 100, how do i delete all the old ones, to make the limit 100?

I hope you understand what my problem is..
Hope someone can help me..

Basically use DirectoryInfo and GetFiles to get FileInfo objects.

Dim dir As New IO.DirectoryInfo("d:\path")
Dim files = dir.GetFiles()

then Linq is the simplest option to query the selections

Dim keep = From x In files Order By x.LastWriteTime Descending Take 100
Dim old = files.Except(keep)

Then I'd perhaps do

old.ToList.ForEach(Sub(x) x.Delete())

but you have to do

For Each file In old
    file.Delete()
Next
