Class DirectoryRemover

java.lang.Object
  com.faunos.util.io.file.DirectoryRemover

public class DirectoryRemover
extends Object

Recursively removes the contents of a directory tree. Similar to rm myDir -rf.

Warning!

This class performs an inherently dangerous operation: it removes any directory tree. Be very careful how you call this code. As a small security measure, this class provides a global (i.e. static) minimum depth from root parameter that is initialized to 3.
