fds_file_delete delete all files with given id?

Hi

I'm trying to delete all files with a given file id. Will fds_file_delete() delete all files with a given file id, or just the first one it finds?

thanks

  • According to the documentation...

    ret_code_t fds_file_delete	(	uint16_t 	file_id	)
    
    Function for deleting all records in a file.
    
    This function deletes a file, including all its records. Deleted records cannot be located using fds_record_find, fds_record_find_by_key, or fds_record_find_in_file. Additionally, they can no longer be opened using fds_record_open.
    
    Note that deleting records does not free the space they occupy in flash memory. To reclaim flash space used by deleted records, call fds_gc to run garbage collection.
    
    This function is asynchronous. Completion is reported through an event that is sent to the registered event handler function.
    
  • Ah I see where my confusion was. I was thinking you could have multiple files with the same FILE_ID just as you can have multiple records with the same REC_ID and FILE_ID, but a file is no more than an organizational scheme (whereas records actually hold information).

    Thanks for clarifying!
