How to remove a section from an INI file using Win32 API?

Question

I would like to remove a section and also key values under the section from an INI file using Win32 API.

Can somebody tell me how can I do that?

The documentation tells you how to do it. Can't you simply follow that documentation? — David Heffernan, Sep 02 '16 at 11:06

To delete the section and all the entries you will use the somewhat counter-intuitive function named WritePrivateProfileString with the lpKeyName parameter set to NULL. This will delete the entire section stored in the lpAppName field, including all the entries.
