Like that

Will not work. Your program is probably installed on the client machine in a directory with rights to write root (administrator), that is, on Windows in %PROGRAMFILES% . And it is launched with the rights of the client. That is, there is no access to the directory for recording, you will not be able to remove yourself.

Of course, you can simply stop the program (by issuing an appropriate message to the user). Note, however, that your program is completely under the control of the user, so that a qualified user will find a way around the restriction.

PS: Do you necessarily if / else ? And case in any way?
