I like APIs because:
(1) They make your compiled exe's smaller than using equivalent PureBasic commands.
(2) You can do things if PureBasic doesn't have a built-in command (such as
DeleteDirectory, as you've discovered).
(3) It teaches you about the API which means you can quickly convert other apps,
that were written in C or Visual Basic, to PureBasic.

Go to
http://www.allapi.net/ and download and install the
API-Guide program.
It lists all APIs and has examples (in Visual Basic) of how to use them.
The only drawback to using APIs is that they won't work on the Amiga or Linux,
so only use them if your app is intended solely for Windows Operating Systems.
