deleteRecursively

expect open fun deleteRecursively(fileOrDirectory: Path, mustExist: Boolean = false)

This function does not defend against race conditions. For example, if child files are created or deleted in fileOrDirectory while this function is executing, this may fail with an IOException.

Parameters

mustExist

true to throw an IOException if there is nothing at fileOrDirectory to delete.

Throws

IOException

if any metadata, list, or delete operation fails.
