# Function std::fs::remove_dir

1.0.0 · source ·

    pub fn remove_dir<P: AsRef<Path>>(path: P) -> Result<()>

Expand description

Removes an empty directory.

## Platform-specific behavior

This function currently corresponds to the `rmdir` function on Unix and the `RemoveDirectory` function on Windows. Note that, this may change in the future.

## Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- `path` doesn’t exist.
- `path` isn’t a directory.
- The user lacks permissions to remove the directory at the provided `path`.
- The directory isn’t empty.

## Examples

    use std::fs;

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::remove_dir("/some/dir")?;
        Ok(())
    }
