how to remove a sub directory in qt5

Question

I have a complete directory like this,

C:\server\videos\images

and this images folder may contain several images. I want to delete this images folder if there are images available in it. so how can I do that in qt5.

I've seen some of the question similar like to this.but they aren't seem to solve my problem. I don't want to delete my entire directory or an image file.I just need to delete the image folder if there are images on it.So how can I do this?

thanx in advance.!

Check if the directory is empty or not (contains images or not): Check if directory is empty

Then, you can remove it + its content: Removing a non empty folder in Qt

Or only its content files: Delete all files in a directory

You're right, deleting files but not the folder can be achieved as proposed by John Doe – jpo38 Jul 30 '14 at 08:49

If you do it like jpo38 suggested then just create that folder again after deleting. Or you just try to delete each file in the folder like mentioned here.
