    A-folder has several folders under.
    I want delete those folders all under the A-folder.
    I want to keep the A-folder alive but shall be an empty folder.
    How to do it?

    I use fso.DeleteFolder(Path) but this way kills A-folder.

    But by this way you have to goto CP and setup the folder permission again.
    I donot want to go to CP to setup permission again.
    Any other way?

    You can iterate through the contents of the folder-A and delete everything. This post is a few days old, if you are still looking for a solution I have some code that does something very similar (the opposite, expands a folder structure outwards like a tree), I'll find it if you still need it.

    Also do you only want to delete the folders under folder-A? or also any files that are in the root of folder-A as well?
