c++ delete directory
To delete a directory in C++, you can use the std::filesystem
library. Here are the steps to delete a directory:
Include the necessary header file:
cpp #include <filesystem>
Use the
std::filesystem::remove_all()
function to delete the directory:cpp std::filesystem::remove_all("directory_path");
Replace "directory_path"
with the actual path of the directory you want to delete.
- Optionally, you can check if the directory was deleted successfully:
cpp if (std::filesystem::remove_all("directory_path") > 0) { // Directory was deleted successfully } else { // Failed to delete the directory }
This step is useful if you want to handle errors or perform additional actions based on the deletion result.
That's it! Following these steps will allow you to delete a directory using C++ and the std::filesystem
library.
