folder deleting not working - 【StackMirror】|c#|asp.net|vb.net

If System.IO.Directory.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("images/TravelogueGallery/" & getMaxID())) Then
    System.IO.Directory.Delete(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("images/TravelogueGallery/" & getMaxID()), True)
End If

I am using the above code snippet to delete a directory but I get this error:

'G:\Projects\Latest\LTCIndia 05-04-12 1415\images\TravelogueGallery\19' is not a valid virtual path.

What's wrong with the code?

UPDATE: I have updated the question with the correct answer. The above code snippet works just fine. Thanks guys for your time.

Remove the MapPath on the delete line. See if that helps - asawyer 2012-04-05 23:26
