    • deleteRecursively

      public static boolean deleteRecursively(@Nullable File root)
      Delete the supplied File - for directories, recursively delete any nested directories or files as well.

      Note: Like File.delete(), this method does not throw any exception but rather silently returns false in case of I/O errors. Consider using deleteRecursively(Path) for NIO-style handling of I/O errors, clearly differentiating between non-existence and failure to delete an existing file.

      Parameters:
      root - the root File to delete
      Returns:
      true if the File was successfully deleted, otherwise false
    • deleteRecursively

      public static boolean deleteRecursively(@Nullable Path root) throws IOException
      Delete the supplied Path — for directories, recursively delete any nested directories or files as well.
      Parameters:
      root - the root Path to delete
      Returns:
      true if the Path existed and was deleted, or false if it did not exist
      Throws:
      IOException - in the case of I/O errors
