                fos.wFunc = FO_DELETE;
                fos.pFrom = szTitlef;//path of folder ex: "D:\\tmp"
                fos.fFlags = FOF_NOCONFIRMATION | FOF_NOERRORUI | FOF_SILENT;
                int t = SHFileOperation(&fos);
                if ( t !=0)
                {
                    //send error
                }

Is szTitlef double null terminated? You can also use GetLastError to find out why SHFileOperation is not working.

Yes I understood that the first time. But us szTitlef double NULL terminated? You can double NULL terminate a string by appending "\0\0", for example;

C++

char buffer[] = "D:\\Temp";
int len = strlen(buffer);
char* folderName = new char[len+2];
strcpy(folderName, buffer);
folderName[len]   = '\0';
folderName[len+1] = '\0';

Did you checked what GetLastError returns?

If u dont bother using File operation API then
i have a option for you MoveFileEx to rename your folder.

Eg:-

<pre>

MoveFileEx("D:\\data1", TEXT("D:\\data2"), MOVEFILE_REPLACE_EXISTING | MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED);
