NSDocumentDirectory remove folder

I have created a folder inside documents directory using : 

fileManager.createDirectory(atPath:ziPFolderPath,withIntermediateDirectories: false, attributes: nil)

In this folder I have placed few files.
Later in the app, I want to delete not just the files inside the above folder, but also the folder.
FileManager supports removeItem function but I am wondering if it removes the folder as well.

Solution

  • Yes it will delete folder also.

    From the documentation of: - removeItem(at:)

    Removes the file or directory at the specified URL.

    From the documentation of: - removeItem(atPath:)

    Removes the file or directory at the specified path.

    Edit: You can call it like this way.

    try? FileManager.default.removeItem(at: URL(fileURLWithPath: ziPFolderPath))
//OR
try? FileManager.default.removeItem(atPath: ziPFolderPath)
