FAQ2004: Delete all files in non-empty directory

[Question] How to delete a non-empty directory, and all the contents in its directory:

[Solution 1] If recursive deletion is not performed. You can use the API function SHFileOperation, which can delete the directory and the subdirectory and files below.

Sample code:

Bool Deltree (LPCTSTR LPSZPATH)

{

SHFileOpstruct fileop;

Fileop.fflags = FOF_NOCONFIMATION;

Fileop.hnamemappings = null;

Fileop.hwnd = NULL;

Fileop.lpszprogressTitle = null;

Fileop.pfrom = lpszpath;

Fileop.pto = NULL;

Fileop.wfunc = fo_delete;

Return SHFILEOPERATION (& Fileop) == 0;

}

[Solution 2] Use recursive calls to delete one by one:

Sample code:

Bool deletedirectory // If you delete deletedirectory ("c: // aaa")

{

CfileFind TempFind;

CHAR TEMPFILEFIND [MAX_PATH];

Sprintf (TempFileFind, "% S //*.*", DIRNAME);

Bool isfinded = (bool) tempfind.FindFile (TempFileFind);

While (isfinded)

{

IsFinded = (BOOL) TempFind.FindNextFile ();

IF (! tempfind.isdots ())

{

Char FoundFileName [MAX_PATH];

STRCPY (FoundFileName, Tempfind.getFileName (). getBuffer (MAX_PATH));

IF (Tempfind.Indirectory ())

{

CHAR TEMPDIR [MAX_PATH];

Sprintf (Tempdir, "% S / /% S", DIRNAME, FOUNDFILENAME);

DELETEDIRECTORY (TEMPDIR);

}

Else

{

Char TempFileName [MAX_PATH];

Sprintf (TempFileName, "% S / /% S", DIRNAME, FOUNDFILENAME

Deletefile (TempFileName);

}

}

}

Tempfind.close ();

IF (! RemoveDirectory (DIRNAME))

{

MessageBox (0, "Delete Directory Failed!", "Warning Information", MB_OK); // If you do not find a folder, delete fails, you can delete this sentence

Return False;

}

Return True;

}
