How to delete a file from memory using FATFS library

Question

I want to use elm-chen FATFS library to delete a file from memory. this link. But I do not see any functions to delete a file. Is there a way to delete a file from FATFS using this library? Thanks

Edit. I found the remove file in the full version library. The limited version does not contain the remove feature.

Answer 1

In FatFs - Generic FAT Filesystem Module, "Remove" means the same thing as "Delete".

Answer 2

If you would go up one level you would find this.

It's obvious that the "Petit FAT File System Module" can't create nor delete files. Just do poor edits and simple reads. It's meant for "tiny microcontrollers" apparently.

If you want what you expect then you should follow the link above. It leads to "FatFs - Generic FAT Filesystem Module", it's meant for "small embedded systems" apparently. Which I assume you have.

I wish you good luck in perfecting your googling skills.

Answer 3

If you look at the full version of FatFS, it contains the f_unlink function, which will allow you to remove files or directories. You just pass it the filename or folder to remove.
