Delete all files in directory (but not directory) - one liner solution

Question

I want to delete all files inside ABC directory.

When I tried with FileUtils.deleteDirectory(new File(\"C:/test/ABC/\")); it also deletes folder ABC.

Answer 1

Or to use this in Java 8:

try {
  Files.newDirectoryStream( directory ).forEach( file -> {
    try { Files.delete( file ); }
    catch ( IOException e ) { throw new UncheckedIOException(e); }
  } );
}
catch ( IOException e ) {
  e.printStackTrace();
}

It's a pity the exception handling is so bulky, otherwise it would be a one-liner ...
