Swift delete all files from particular Document Directory Location - ios

Question

My Scenario, I am trying to delete all files from particular document directory by using document folder path. Here, every time I am saving file within my application document directory folder, by using below code I can’t able to delete files
let urlString: String = myurl.absoluteString
print("FILEURL:\(urlString)")
do {
try fm.removeItem(atPath: "\(myurl)")
} catch let error as NSError {
print(error.debugDescription)
}

Answer 1

You are mixing up URL and String path
Either use the String related API
try fm.removeItem(atPath: myurl.path) // NEVER use .absoluteString for a file system path
or use the URL related API (recommended)
try fm.removeItem(at: myurl)
To remove all files get the file URLs in the enclosing directory with contentsOfDirectory(at:includingPropertiesForKeys:options:) and remove one by one
let fileManager = FileManager.default
do {
let documentDirectoryURL = try fileManager.url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: false)
let fileURLs = try fileManager.contentsOfDirectory(at: documentDirectoryURL, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: .skipsHiddenFiles)
for url in fileURLs {
try fileManager.removeItem(at: url)
}
} catch {
print(error)
}

For delete specific file or folder using Url
let filePathString = "file:///Users/mac-01/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices/092D2386-5B43-4D98-8DCF-F21E08CCD400/data/Containers/Data/Application/C6D910A2-67D9-48A4-8221-5C81C722D508/Documents/Products"
guard let fileUrl = URL(string: "\(filePathString)") else { return }
do {
try FileManager.default.removeItem(at: fileUrl)
print("Remove successfully")
}
catch let error as NSError {
print("An error took place: \(error)")
}
removeItem method is accept url of document directory file or folder.Please try with it.
For Delete Document directory folder use
let fileManager = FileManager.default
let myDocuments = fileManager.urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first!
do {
try fileManager.removeItem(at: myDocuments)
} catch {
return
}
