刚刚看到我的解决方案或多或少与埃里克森的相同，只是包装成一个静态方法。把它放到某个地方，它的重量比安装所有Apache Commons要轻得多，因为(如您所见)非常简单。

public class FileUtils {
    /**
     * By default File#delete fails for non-empty directories, it works like "rm". 
     * We need something a little more brutual - this does the equivalent of "rm -r"
     * @param path Root File Path
     * @return true iff the file and all sub files/directories have been removed
     * @throws FileNotFoundException
     */
    public static boolean deleteRecursive(File path) throws FileNotFoundException{
        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();
    }
}

处理异常的最佳解决方案是，方法抛出的异常应该总是描述该方法试图(和失败)做什么:

private void deleteRecursive(File f) throws Exception {
    try {
        if (f.isDirectory()) {
            for (File c : f.listFiles()) {
                deleteRecursive(c);
            }
        }
        if (!f.delete()) {
            throw new Exception("Delete command returned false for file: " + f);
        }
    } 
    catch (Exception e) {
        throw new Exception("Failed to delete the folder: " + f, e);
    }
}

下面的代码递归删除给定文件夹中的所有内容。

boolean deleteDirectory(File directoryToBeDeleted) {
    File[] allContents = directoryToBeDeleted.listFiles();
    if (allContents != null) {
        for (File file : allContents) {
            deleteDirectory(file);
        }
    }
    return directoryToBeDeleted.delete();
}

在Guava 9之前，Guava一直支持files . deleterecursive (File)。

来自番石榴10:

弃用。该方法存在符号链接检测差和竞态条件差的问题。只有使用操作系统命令(如rm -rf或del /s)才能适当地支持此功能。这个方法计划在Guava 11.0版本中从Guava中移除。

因此，在番石榴11中没有这种方法。

public static void deleteDirectory(File path) 
{
    if (path == null)
        return;
    if (path.exists())
    {
        for(File f : path.listFiles())
        {
            if(f.isDirectory()) 
            {
                deleteDirectory(f);
                f.delete();
            }
            else
            {
                f.delete();
            }
        }
        path.delete();
    }
}

虽然可以使用file.delete()轻松删除文件，但要删除的目录必须为空。使用递归可以很容易地做到这一点。例如:

public static void clearFolders(String[] args) {
        for(String st : args){
            File folder = new File(st);
            if (folder.isDirectory()) {
                File[] files = folder.listFiles();
                if(files!=null) { 
                    for(File f: files) {
                        if (f.isDirectory()){
                            clearFolders(new String[]{f.getAbsolutePath()});
                            f.delete();
                        } else {
                            f.delete();
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
