When trying to delete a Visual Studio created application via FTP, you will most likely receive an error message saying that the directory is not empty and cannot be removed.
A Visual Studio.NET created application is set up as a FrontPage subweb which contains many hidden directories and files used by FrontPage. It is not possible to remove these files via FTP.
To remove a Visual Studio.NET created project from the web server, follow the instructions below:
- Go to FrontPage tool in the Control Panel IIS Tools
- Click the "Manage FrontPage Extensions" link
- Enter your username and password when prompted
- In the SubWebs section, click "Delete a subweb"
- Select the name of the application you wish to delete from the drop down box
- Click "Delete SubWeb"
