Deleting all the files in the iPhone sandbox (documents folder)?

Question

Is there an easy way to delete all the files(images) I saved in the documents folder of the app?

Answer 1

It may not be applicable in all cases but generally it would be more efficient to put all the files in a custom directory inside Documents Directory and then use removeItemAtPath:error: to delete that directory and create it again. E.g.:

// Clear cache
NSError *error;
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] removeItemAtPath:cacheDirectory error:&error];
if (error)
{
    // error handling
}

// Create cache directory again
NSError *error2;
[[NSFileManager defaultManager] createDirectoryAtPath:cacheDirectory withIntermediateDirectories:YES attributes:nil error:&error2];
if (error2)
{
    // error handling
}
