Does a Web Deployment Project in vs10 delete the current website and then
install the new one. I noticed if I created a directory on the IIS website
it did not get deleted.
However, if I created a file on the IIS website it did get deleted.

I think the behavior is, it checks the destination folder and compare the
files in it with the files pending to be deployed. If there's an existing
file in the destination folder that is not included in the pending-deploy
files that file will be deleted. The destination folder and the folder in
it will not be deleted, however.

Do you have any further questions regarding this issue? Please feel free to
ask if you have.
