How to delete a folder with files using Java
delete-directory, file-io, java
Solution
Java isn't able to delete folders with data in it. You have to delete all files before deleting the folder.
Use something like:
String[]entries = index.list();
for(String s: entries){
File currentFile = new File(index.getPath(),s);
currentFile.delete();
}
Then you should be able to delete the folder by using `index.delete()` Untested!
Problem
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.mkdir(); } else { index.delete(); if (!index.exists()) { index.mkdir(); } } ```
