DeleteShare Method

Deletes a share.

Syntax

int DeleteShare();

Remarks

This method deletes the share currently selected by the Share property.

If the currently selected Share has any snapshots associated with it, and the DeleteShareSnapshots configuration setting is disabled (default) when this method is called, the server will return an error. Shares with snapshots can only be deleted after enabling DeleteShareSnapshots.

Note that, according to the Azure File Storage documentation, a share's name cannot be reused until at least 30 seconds after its deletion.

Error Handling

This method returns a result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
