Declaration Syntax

void DeleteOnClose(
	String^ path

Parameters

path (String): File or directory path to be deleted. All files and subdirectories under a directory are deleted.

Remarks

Once an item is scheduled, it cannot be unscheduled.

The items cannot be deleted if the Database object is auto-disposed by the garbage collector; the handle must be explicitly closed.

Files which are read-only or otherwise locked cannot be deleted, but they will not cause an exception to be thrown.
