Protected Sub ListView1_ItemDeleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.ListViewDeletedEventArgs) Handles ListView1.ItemDeleted
        Dim lab As Label = CType(ListView1.Items(ListView1.SelectedValue).FindControl("photoLabel"), Label)
        System.IO.File.Delete(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName("/upload/") & lab.Text)
    End Sub

Just try this:

Public Function DelAllUploadedFiles()    
For Each Uploadedfiles As var In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(Server.MapPath("~/upload/"))        
System.IO.File.Delete(Uploadedfiles )   
Next
End Function

First you have to set the folder settings on the server who can enter this folder and has delete authority Login to your server account and give delete permission to the folder to everyone

You should be using Server.MapPath

File.Delete((MapPath(".") + ("\\" + lab.Text)))

Try to put try and catch and see if you have Exception . In general in order to delete in IIS process pool ,should be defined under strong user .
