DeleteFile Method
Deletes a vault item.
Syntax
int DeleteFile(const QString& qsFileName);
Remarks
This method deletes the vault item (file, directory, symbolic link, or alternate stream) specified by FileName from the vault.
The value passed for FileName must be a vault-local absolute path.
Please note that:
- When a file is deleted, any alternate streams it contains are deleted as well.
- Directories must be empty to be deleted, otherwise this method fails with an error. Use the IsDirectoryEmpty method to check whether a directory is empty.
- Deleting a symbolic link only deletes the link itself, not the file it points to.
Note: This method can only be called when Active is true, and cannot be called within events.
Error Handling
This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
