EDataServer.file_recursive_delete
Description: Reference for EDataServer.file_recursive_delete

### Function

# EDataServerfile_recursive_delete

since: 3.6

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    e_file_recursive_delete (
      GFile* file,
      gint io_priority,
      GCancellable* cancellable,
      GAsyncReadyCallback callback,
      gpointer user_data
    )

#### Description [src]

Asynchronously deletes `file`. If `file` is a directory, its contents are deleted recursively before `file` itself is deleted. The recursive delete operation will stop on the first error.

If `cancellable` is not `NULL`, then the operation can be cancelled by triggering the cancellable object before the operation finishes.

When the operation is finished, `callback` will be called. You can then call `e_file_recursive_delete_finish()` to get the result of the operation.
