InstallShield 2018 » InstallScript Language Reference
The DeleteShortcutFolder function removes a shortcut folder (that is, a subfolder of the Start menu's Programs folder) and its contents, including all shortcuts and all of the shortcut folder’s subfolders and their contents. DeleteShortcutFolder cannot remove the Programs folder.
Tip • In a Basic MSI or InstallScript MSI project, this functionality is possibly better achieved by using the native Windows Installer RemoveFolders action. Or, if you are simply uninstalling, the Windows Installer engine natively handles the removal of all files and folders that were created during the installation. For more information on the RemoveFolders action, see the Windows Installer Help.
