Path GetDirectoryName      but you need to know that the path you are passing to it does contain a file name  it simply removes the final bit from the path  whether it is a file name or directory name  it actually has no idea which    You could validate first by testing File Exists   and or Directory Exists   on your path first to see if you need to call Path GetDirectoryName

Path GetDirectoryName   returns the directory name  so for what you want  with the trailing reverse solidus character  you could call Path GetDirectoryName filePath    Path DirectorySeparatorChar
