what OS?
Win32 has DeleteFile()

one reason in particular. maybe not in the delete case but in the general file access case. speed trials on the various windows API for file access produce astounding results. I ran c runtime vs WinAPI read and write trials where win32 API runs in 1/4 of the time that the c runtime does. Try it for yourself. Do clock checks after thousands of iterations on reading a file in each method.

NO! I am not making a virus!
I am making a profile application!
Got it!
Anyways, can you help me find a way to remove files, directories, or whatever?
Does the 'remove()' command work for deleting directories too?
Can you guys find some way to do this?
Thanks so much,
