Gracefully trap Folder Not Found Error

I tried to trap like below, but not working.  Run time error still produced.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

 

Source = Try Folder.Files("C:\nodirectory"),

output = if Source[HasError] then "Error" else "Good"

Please use the following code .

let
    FolderPath = "C:\nodirectory", 
    Test = try List.Count(Folder.Files(FolderPath)[Content]),
    Source = if Test[HasError] then "Cannot find Data Source" else Folder.Files(FolderPath)
in
    Source
