Function std::fs::remove_file

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

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][changes]. [changes]: ../io/index.html#platform-specific-behavior

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 user lacks permissions to remove the file.

Examples

use std::fs;

fs::remove_file("a.txt")?;
