Try the code below and see if you get the same error.

C#

string path = Server.MapPath(pdfExportPath);
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
    Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
}

using (File.Create(Path.Combine(path, "Test.txt")));

if (Directory.Exists(path))
{
    Directory.Delete(path, true);
}

Can you delete a directory manually on that server?
If not, check the access rights for the account you are using.

It is also a bit confusing as you used different paths in the different code segments.
Is this intentional or a mistake?
