delete method
- {bool recursive = false}
Deletes this FileSystemEntity
.
If the FileSystemEntity
is a directory, and if recursive
is false
,
the directory must be empty. Otherwise, if recursive
is true, the
directory and all sub-directories and files in the directories are
deleted. Links are not followed when deleting recursively. Only the link
is deleted, not its target.
If recursive
is true, the FileSystemEntity
is deleted even if the type
of the FileSystemEntity
doesn't match the content of the file system.
This behavior allows delete to be used to unconditionally delete any file
system object.
Returns a Future<FileSystemEntity>
that completes with this
FileSystemEntity
when the deletion is done. If the FileSystemEntity
cannot be deleted, the future completes with an exception.
Implementation
Future<FileSystemEntity> delete({bool recursive = false}) =>
_delete(recursive: recursive);
