Deleting a folder

[vinayakak]

Dear friends

I am using series 60 sdk fp2 with MSVC++ 6.0

I am writing a application where I am creating and deleting a folder.

I am able to sucessfully create a folder but when i am not able to delete it.

I tried using both RFs fsSession and CFileMan *fileMan

when i used the RFs fsSession to delete a folder it returns me sucess but the folder not deleted(I Made sure that folder was empty).

when i use CFileMan *fileMan it returns me the error code saying Acccess Denied but deletes the inside contents of the file.


Here is the code i used for both types

For CFileMan *fileMan

CFileMan *fileMan

eRet1 = fileMan->RmDir(*poDirPathBuf) ;


For RFs fsSession

RFs fsSession ;

User::LeaveIfError(fsSession.Connect()); // connect session
TRAP (err, fsSession.RmDir(*pbDeleteFolder)) ;
if(KErrNone != err)
{
User::Leave (err);
}
fsSession.Close();


Can I know what is the problem?

Thanks in advance

hi,
how did u give the path.
it should be "c:\\system\\apps\\MyApp\\Foldernametodelete\\"
the trailing "\\" is needed to make it identifiable as a folder otherwise it is identified as a file.

try this
_LIT(KSourceFolder,"c:\\Foldernametodelete");

TBuf<256> sourcefolderpath;
sourcefolderpath.Copy(KSourceFolder);
sourcefolderpath.Append(_L("\\"));

RFs fsSession;
fsSession.Connect();
TInt err=fsSession.RmDir(sourcefolderpath);
fsSession.Close();

bye
