try this simple code:-

string[] fileArray = Directory.GetFiles(@"c:\Dir\");

or

C#

class Program
{
    static void Main()
    {
    // Put all file names in root directory into array.
    string[] array1 = Directory.GetFiles(@"C:\");

   
    // Display all files.
    Console.WriteLine("--- Files: ---");
    foreach (string name in array1)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(name);
    }  
   
}

The code below works fine

C#

String directoryName = @"C:\Users\XXXXXX\Desktop\Refrigeration\RCA\RCA001\Children";
            DirectoryInfo dirInfo = new DirectoryInfo(directoryName);
            if (dirInfo.Exists == false)
            {
                Directory.CreateDirectory(directoryName);
                MessageBox.Show("Created");
            }
            //else
            //{
            //    Directory.Delete(directoryName);
            //    MessageBox.Show("Deleted");
            //}



            List<string> MyFiles = Directory
                   .GetFiles(@"C:\Users\XXXXXX\Desktop\Refrigeration\RCA\RCA001","*.*",SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToList();

            foreach (string file in MyFiles)
            {
                FileInfo mFile = new FileInfo(file);
               
                //if (new FileInfo(dirInfo + "\\" + mFile.Name).Exists == false)
                    mFile.MoveTo(dirInfo + "\\" + mFile.Name);
            }

            MessageBox.Show("Success");</string>
