fileManager(_:shouldRemoveItemAtPath:)
Asks the delegate whether the item at the specified path should be deleted.
Declaration
optional func fileManager(_ fileManager: FileManager, shouldRemoveItemAtPath path: String) -> BoolParameters
- fileManager:
The file manager object that is attempting to remove the file or directory.
- path:
The path to the file or directory that the file manager is attempting to delete.
Return Value
true if the specified item should be deleted or false if it should not be deleted.
Discussion
Removed items are deleted immediately and not placed in the Trash. If the specified item is a directory, returning false prevents both the directory and its children from being deleted.
This method performs the same task as the fileManager(_:shouldRemoveItemAt:) method, which is preferred over this method in macOS 10.6 and later.
