delete a file in rust

To delete a file in Rust, you can use the std::fs::remove_file function. This function takes a path to the file you want to delete as an argument and returns a Result<(), std::io::Error> indicating the success or failure of the operation.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how you can delete a file in Rust:

main.rs
use std::fs;

fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
    // Path to the file to be deleted
    let path = "file.txt";

    // Delete the file
    fs::remove_file(path)?;

    Ok(())
}

In this code snippet, we first import the std::fs module. We then define the path to the file that we want to delete as a string. Finally, we call the fs::remove_file function with the path as an argument, and use the ? operator to handle any errors that may occur.
