Using a string literal

use std::path::Path;

// Create a file to delete later.
let path: &str = "file_to_delete_1.txt";
save_string_to_file("Hello, world!", path);

// Verify that the file exists.
assert!(Path::new(path).exists());

// Now delete the file.
delete_file(path);

// Verify that the file no longer exists.
assert!(!Path::new(path).exists());

Using a Path reference

use file_io::{delete_file, save_string_to_file};
use std::path::Path;

// Create a file to delete later.
let path: &Path = Path::new("file_to_delete_2.txt");
save_string_to_file("Hello, world!", path);

// Verify that the file exists.
assert!(path.exists());

// Now delete the file.
delete_file(path);

// Verify that the file no longer exists.
assert!(!path.exists());
