How to add a users name to path in C#?

Hello stackoverflow community, I want to know how I would be able to do this code: Directory.Delete(@"C:\NAME\AppData\Local", true);But where it says "NAME" I want to get the username of the computer, is this possible? Thanks.

I hope you are looking for a way to replace "NAME" with current user logged on that computer. If so then you can use Environment.UserName. Environment.UserName will return you the user on the current thread.

Try this.

Directory.Delete(string.Format(@"C:\{0}\AppData\Local",Environment.UserName), true);

As per Alex comment, if you want to delete "C:\USERS\NAME\AppData\Local" then use this code.

var directory = Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.LocalApp‌​licationData);
Directory.Delete(directory, true);

You can use, Getting the computer name in windows

and

string directory = "C:\"+username+"\AppData\Local"; Directory.Delete(@directory, true);
