Method

booleandeletePath(File path)
Delete all files and sub-folders of the specified path, and then the specified path itself. 
if (path == null)
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Null path in FileUtil.deletePath()");
boolean ok = true;
try {
    File[] files = path.listFiles();
    for (int i = 0; i < files.length && ok; i++) {
        if (files[i].exists() && files[i].isDirectory())
            ok = deletePath(files[i]);
...
voiddeletePath(final File path)
delete Path 
deletePathAndRetry(path, 3);
booleandeletePathRecursive(File path)
delete Path Recursive 
if (path.isDirectory()) {
    for (File file : path.listFiles()) {
        if (!deletePathRecursive(file))
            return false;
return path.delete();
booleandeleteQuietly(Object path)
delete Quietly 
return deleteQuietly(path, false);
voiddeleteRecursive(File path)
Delete a directory and its contents recursively 
File[] c = path.listFiles();
for (File file : c) {
    if (file.isDirectory()) {
        deleteRecursive(file);
        file.delete();
    } else {
        file.delete();
path.delete();
booleandeleteRecursive(File path)
By default File#delete fails for non-empty directories, it works like "rm". 
if (!path.exists()) {
    throw new FileNotFoundException(path.getAbsolutePath());
boolean ret = true;
if (path.isDirectory()) {
    for (File f : path.listFiles()) {
        ret = ret && deleteRecursive(f);
return ret && path.delete();
booleandeleteRecursive(File path)
delete Recursive 
if (path.exists()) {
    boolean ret = true;
    if (path.isDirectory()) {
        for (File f : path.listFiles()) {
            ret = ret && deleteRecursive(f);
    return ret && path.delete();
...
booleandeleteRecursive(File path)
delete Recursive 
if (path != null && path.exists() && path.isDirectory()) {
    File[] files = path.listFiles();
    for (File f : files) {
        if (f.isDirectory()) {
            deleteRecursive(f);
        } else {
            f.delete();
if (path != null) {
    boolean successful = path.delete();
    return successful;
} else {
    return false;
booleandeleteRecursive(File path)
Remove a file/directory. 
boolean deleteSuccessful = false;
if (!exists(path)) {
    return deleteSuccessful;
boolean ret = true;
if (path.isDirectory()) {
    for (File f : path.listFiles()) {
        ret = ret && deleteRecursive(f);
...
booleandeleteRecursive(File path)
This function will recursivly delete directories and files. 
if ((path.exists()) && (path.isDirectory())) {
    File[] files = path.listFiles();
    if (files != null) {
        for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
            if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
                deleteRecursive(files[i]);
            } else {
                files[i].delete();
