How to delete a folder with files using Java

Question

I want to create and delete a directory using Java, but it isn\'t working.

File index = new File(\"/home/Work/Indexer1\");
if (!index.exists()) {
    index.m         


        

Answer 1

One more choice is to use Spring's org.springframework.util.FileSystemUtils relevant method which will recursively delete all content of the directory.

File directoryToDelete = new File();
FileSystemUtils.deleteRecursively(directoryToDelete);

That will do the job!
