Is there an easy / elegant way to remove directory contents recursively using boost::filesystem? I see that there's a create_directories() convenience function, but there's no such convenience function for removing a directory and all its contents.
moreover, recursive_directory_iterator() does not return an iterator that contains the directory contens in the order suitable for removal :(
I wonder if there's an easy / elegant way to do this?
Seems there's a remove_all in the operations: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/filesystem/doc/reference.html#Oper... I seems like it should be classified as a convenience function, though, since it appears to be implemented entirely in terms of other boost.filesystem features and does seem the same sort of thing as create_directories...
