delete_reparse_rule Method

Deletes a particular reparse rule.

Syntax

def delete_reparse_rule(mask: str, product_guid: str) -> bool: ...

Remarks

This method deletes the ReparseRules identified by Mask and associated with the application identified by ProductGUID.

If the flags and/or rule are deleted successfully, this method returns True; otherwise, it returns False.

The Mask parameter must be the file mask of an existing rule. If a rule with the specified mask cannot be found, this method will fail.

In most cases, the value passed for the ProductGUID parameter should be the same one that was used to call the initialize method. Please refer to the add_reparse_rule method's documentation for more information.

To delete all reparse rules, use the delete_all_reparse_rules method instead.

Note: The methods and properties related to rule management are not intended to be used from multiple threads at once. Applications that wish to use said methods and properties from multiple threads (such as, e.g., during the on_after_filter_attach_to_volume and on_after_filter_detach_from_volume events) are responsible for employing proper thread synchronization techniques to ensure that manipulation and enumeration of the rule lists occurs in a thread-safe manner.
