Using remove on a file that does not exist will result in a exception that is not clear what the issue is, example below:
import std.file;
void main() {
remove("IDontExist.txt");
}
std.file.FileException: In std\file.d(400), data file IDontExist.txt: The operation completed successfully.
The FileException states the "operation completed successfully" this is not actually the case since there was nothing to remove.
Even though it had nothing to remove I think it is reasonable to consider the operation successful at which point it shouldn't be throwing an Exception.
