How to delete a section from an INI file

 

 

If you have ever needed to remove a section completely from an INI file.

 

 

We can use WritePrivateProfileStruct API to achieve this. We have to set NULL as the 2nd parameter to delete a section completely and set NULL as the 3rd parameter to delete a particular key only.

 

 

void DeleteSectionFromIniFile() 
{
   WritePrivateProfileStruct(_T("Section 1"), NULL, NULL, 0, _T("C:\\test.ini"));
}

 

 

WritePrivateProfileString too use for the same purpose.
