Virtual Method
GioFiledelete_file
Declaration [src]
gboolean
delete_file (
  GFile* file,
  GCancellable* cancellable,
  GError** error
)
Description [src]
Deletes a file. If the file is a directory, it will only be
deleted if it is empty. This has the same semantics as g_unlink().
If file doesn’t exist, G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND will be returned. This allows
for deletion to be implemented avoiding
time-of-check to time-of-use races:
g_autoptr(GError) local_error = NULL;
if (!g_file_delete (my_file, my_cancellable, &local_error) &&
    !g_error_matches (local_error, G_IO_ERROR, G_IO_ERROR_NOT_FOUND))
  {
    // deletion failed for some reason other than the file not existing:
    // so report the error
    g_warning ("Failed to delete %s: %s",
               g_file_peek_path (my_file), local_error->message);
  }
If cancellable is not NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
was cancelled, the error G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
