Question

Delete non-empty directory chan's FatFs

Posted on February 23, 2017 at 10:47

Hello,

I wanted to delete the directories created using f_mkdir(). I have created some files inside directories. I could delete the individual files inside directories but unable to delete the entire directory.

My application includes number of directories and each directory consist of 100 files.

Would appreciate your response...!!! 

Thanks in advance,

Nikhil

    You'd need to enumerate through the content deleting the files as you go and descending into the subdirectories. If recursion isn't appealing you could create a processing list where you come back to the directories after the files have been removed.
