# 1.0.0[−][src]Function std::fs::remove_dir_all

    pub fn remove_dir_all<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>

Removes a directory at this path, after removing all its contents. Use carefully!

This function does not follow symbolic links and it will simply remove the symbolic link itself.

# Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to `opendir`, `lstat`, `rm` and `rmdir` functions on Unix and the `FindFirstFile`, `GetFileAttributesEx`, `DeleteFile`, and `RemoveDirectory` functions on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

# Errors

See `fs::remove_file` and `fs::remove_dir`.

# Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::remove_dir_all("/some/dir")?;
        Ok(())
    }
