Post icon  Posted 08 September 2009 - 05:50 AM

Hello,
Because of my new and the most of the future projects, i'm needing to learn C and use Windows, but because of this, i don't know how to use the Windows API, then i'm asking for an example of using DeleteFile function.

Thanks,
Nathan Paulino Campos

You pass in a string containing the full path to the file to be deleted. What's not to understand?? :blink:
