WP_Filesystem_ftpsockets::delete() WordPress Method

The WP_Filesystem_ftpsockets::delete() function is used to delete a file or directory from an FTP server. This function takes two parameters: the path to the file or directory to be deleted, and the recursive flag. If the recursive flag is set to true, the function will delete all files and directories in the specified path.

WP_Filesystem_ftpsockets::delete( string $file, bool $recursive = false, string|false $type = false ) #

	public function delete( $file, $recursive = false, $type = false ) {
		if ( empty( $file ) ) {
			return false;
		}

		if ( 'f' === $type || $this->is_file( $file ) ) {
			return $this->ftp->delete( $file );
		}

		if ( ! $recursive ) {
			return $this->ftp->rmdir( $file );
		}

		return $this->ftp->mdel( $file );
	}
