delete a directory in go

To delete a directory in Go, we can use the os.RemoveAll() function. This function removes path and any children it contains.

Here is an example of how to use os.RemoveAll() to delete a directory:

main.go
package main

import (
    "os"
)

func main() {
    // Specify the directory path to be deleted
    dirPath := "/path/to/directory"

    // Delete the directory and its contents
    err := os.RemoveAll(dirPath)

    // Handle errors
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
}

In this example, we're passing the directory path to os.RemoveAll() which removes the directory and its contents. If there is any error, we're handling it using panic() function.
