validating a path in C#

[=?Utf-8?B?UGF1bA==?=]

Hi I have an application that allows the user to set paths to folders as well
as deleting these paths. Is there a way to check if the path is valid as my
code fails when trying to delete a non valid path.
fi = new FileInfo(Server .MapPath("paths tring");//run time failure here
