How to delete a folder asynchronously

Question

I have a windows service running that deletes folders from network drive. I want to make the deleting asynchronous. How can this be done?

Right now i am looping through the directories and calling

Directory.Delete(fullPath, true);

Thanks

I would use the Task Parallel Library:

Task.Factory.StartNew(path => Directory.Delete((string)path, true), fullPath);
