Objective-C: Remove all files from directory

Question

Here is my method to remove a file from the temporary directory:

- (void)removeFileNamed:(NSString *)fileName
{
    NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
    NSString *filePath = [NSTemporaryDirectory() stringByAppendingPathComponent:fileName];
    [fileManager removeItemAtPath:filePath error:nil];
}

How can I change this code to remove EVERY file from the temporary directory (i.e. no parameter required)?

EDIT

The solution from the duplicate question solved the issue for me.

Maybe you could start with `- contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:error:` — CRD, Jul 19 '15 at 08:37
And return `BOOL` and use that `error` parameter to report errors. — trojanfoe, Jul 19 '15 at 08:41

E.g. by using a directory enumerator:

NSFileManager *fm = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSDirectoryEnumerator* en = [fm enumeratorAtPath:path];    
NSError* err = nil;
BOOL res;

NSString* file;
while (file = [en nextObject]) {
    res = [fm removeItemAtPath:[path stringByAppendingPathComponent:file] error:&err];
    if (!res && err) {
        NSLog(@"oops: %@", err);
    }
}
