CFile::Remove

Visual Studio 2008

This static function deletes the file specified by the path.

static void PASCAL Remove( 
   LPCTSTR lpszFileName  
);

Parameters

lpszFileName: A string that is the path to the desired file. The path can be relative or absolute, and can contain a network name.

Remarks

It will not remove a directory.

The Remove member function throws an exception if the connected file is open or if the file cannot be removed. This is equivalent to the DEL command.

Example

C++

//example for CFile::Remove
TCHAR* pFileName = _T("Remove_File.dat");
try
{
    CFile::Remove(pFileName);
}
catch (CFileException* pEx)
{
    TRACE(_T("File %20s cannot be removed\n"), pFileName);
    pEx->Delete();
}
