Windows Embedded CE can delete properties, records, or entire databases, as follows:
To delete a property
Call the CeWriteRecordProps (CEDB) function with the CEDB_PROPDELETE flag set in the wFlags parameter and a CEPROPVAL (CEDB) structure that describes the property to delete in the rgPropVal parameter.
You can delete a property by calling CeWriteRecordProps in any volume.
Note
A record that has been deleted and then restored receives a new Windows Embedded CE object identifier.
To delete a single record in a database
- Call the CeDeleteRecord (CEDB) function. Like CeWriteRecordProps, CeDeleteRecord works on any record, regardless of the location of the record.
To delete a database
- Call the CeDeleteDatabaseEx (CEDB) function. Ensure that the database is not open before you attempt to delete the database.
