# Errors

This function will return an error in the following situations, but is not limited to just these cases:

- The user lacks permissions to remove the directory at the provided `path`.
- The directory isn't empty.

    fn main() -> std::io::Result<()> {
        fs::remove_dir("/some/dir")?;
        Ok(())
    }Run
