Description

Reliable and fast directory removal functions.

  • remove_dir_all - on non-Windows this is a re-export of std::fs::remove_dir_all. For Windows an implementation that handles the locking of directories that occurs when deleting directory trees rapidly.

  • remove_dir_contents - as for remove_dir_all but does not delete the supplied root directory.

  • ensure_empty_dir - as for remove_dir_contents but will create the directory if it does not exist.

extern crate remove_dir_all;

use remove_dir_all::*;

fn main() {
    remove_dir_all("./temp/").unwrap();
    remove_dir_contents("./cache/").unwrap();
}
