           string Path1 = (string)(Application.StartupPath + "\\TEMP\\a-z\\test" + "\\" +name);
           StreamReader reader1 = File.OpenText(Path1);
           string str = reader1.ReadToEnd();
           reader1.Close();
           reader1.Dispose();

 new System.IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\Temp").Delete(true);

 //Or

 System.IO.Directory.Delete("C:\Temp", true);

Directory.Delete(@"c:\test", true); would do it

I'd go for a:

Directory.Delete(Path1, true)

that will delete folders and files contained.

using System.IO; 
private void EmptyFolder(DirectoryInfo directoryInfo)
{
  foreach (FileInfo file in directoryInfo.GetFiles())
  {
    file.Delete();
  }
  foreach (DirectoryInfo subfolder in directoryInfo.GetDirectories())
  {
    EmptyFolder(subfolder);
  }
}

To use the code: 

EmptyFolder(new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\yourPath"))
