Function std::fs::remove_file
1.0.0 · source · pub fn remove_file<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>
Expand description
Removes a file from the filesystem.
Note that there is no guarantee that the file is immediately deleted (e.g., depending on platform, other open file descriptors may prevent immediate removal).
§Platform-specific behavior
This function currently corresponds to the unlink
function on Unix
and the DeleteFile
function on Windows.
Note that, this may change in the future.
§Errors
This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:
path
points to a directory.- The file doesn’t exist.
- The user lacks permissions to remove the file.
§Examples
use std::fs;
fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
fs::remove_file("a.txt")?;
Ok(())
}
