Cleans a directory without deleting it.

Parameters:

forceDelete

public static void forceDelete(java.io.File file)
                        throws java.io.IOException

Deletes a file. If file is a directory, delete it and all sub-directories.

The difference between File.delete() and this method are:

• A directory to be deleted does not have to be empty.
• You get exceptions when a file or directory cannot be deleted. (java.io.File methods returns a boolean)

Parameters:

file - file or directory to delete, must not be null

Throws:

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the directory is null

java.io.IOException - in case deletion is unsuccessful
