DeleteVolumeMountPoint function

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.

In Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012, this function is supported by the following technologies.

SMB does not support volume management functions. For CsvFs, a new mount point will not be replicated to the other nodes on the cluster.

Examples

For an example, see Unmounting a Volume at a Mount Point.
