Deletes a drive letter or mounted folder.
Syntax
BOOL WINAPI DeleteVolumeMountPoint(
__in LPCTSTR lpszVolumeMountPoint
);
Parameters
- lpszVolumeMountPoint [in]
-
The drive letter or mounted folder to be deleted. A trailing backslash is required, for example, X:\ or Y:\MountX\.
Return Value
If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero.
If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call
GetLastError.
Remarks
Deleting a mounted folder does not cause the underlying directory to be deleted.
If the lpszVolumeMountPoint parameter is a directory that is not a mounted folder, the function does nothing. The directory is not deleted.
To compile an application that uses this function, define the _WIN32_WINNT macro as 0x0500 or later. For more information, see
