Java DeletingPathVisitor-class And Method Code Example
Here is an example of how to use the DeletingPathVisitor
class from the Apache Commons IO library to delete a directory and all of its contents:
import java.io.IOException;
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
import org.apache.commons.io.filefilter.TrueFileFilter;
public class DeleteDirectoryExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
// Define the directory to be deleted
String directory = "/path/to/directory";
// Create a DeletingPathVisitor instance
DeletingPathVisitor visitor = new DeletingPathVisitor();
// Walk the directory tree and delete all files and directories
FileUtils.walkFileTree(new File(directory), visitor, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE, TrueFileFilter.INSTANCE);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
This will delete the directory and all of its contents. Be careful when using this code, as it can delete a lot of data quickly and permanently.
