rust-self-delete

Self-deletion running executable from disk in Rust The code uses Windows API bindings to achieve the self-deletion functionality. Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. The code retrieves the path of the current executable file and stores it in a buffer.
2. It creates a handle for the file using the CreateFileW function.
3. The file is renamed using the SetFileInformationByHandle function and the FILE_RENAME_INFO structure.
4. After renaming, the code closes the handle.
5. It then retrieves the new path of the renamed file and stores it in another buffer.
6. A new handle is created for the renamed file.
7. The file disposition information is set to indicate that the file should be deleted.
8. The new handle is closed, and the program pauses for 10 seconds.
