IsolatedStorageFile^ isoFile = IsolatedStorageFile::GetStore( static_cast<IsolatedStorageScope>(IsolatedStorageScope::User | IsolatedStorageScope::Assembly | IsolatedStorageScope::Domain), System::Security::Policy::Url::typeid, System::Security::Policy::Url::typeid );
array<String^>^dirNames = isoFile->GetDirectoryNames( "*" );
array<String^>^fileNames = isoFile->GetFileNames( "*" );
// List the files currently in this Isolated Storage.
// The list represents all users who have personal
// preferences stored for this application.
if ( fileNames->Length > 0 )
{
for ( int i = 0; i < fileNames->Length; ++i )
{
//Delete the files.
isoFile->DeleteFile( fileNames[ i ] );
}
fileNames = isoFile->GetFileNames( "*" );
}
isoFile->Close();
}
catch ( Exception^ e )

Console::WriteLine( e->ToString() );
}
}
