java 删除非空目录,无法通过Java删除目录

In my application I have written the code to delete the directory from drive but when I inspect the delete function of File it doesn't delete the file. I have written some thing like this

//Code to delete the directory if it exists

File directory = new File("c:\\Report\\");

if(directory.exists())

directory.delete();

the directoryis not in used still it is not able to delete the directory

解决方案

in Java, directory deletion is possible only for empty directory, which leads to methods like the following :

/**

* Force deletion of directory

* @param path

* @return

*/

static public boolean deleteDirectory(File path) {

if (path.exists()) {

File[] files = path.listFiles();

for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {

if (files[i].isDirectory()) {

deleteDirectory(files[i]);

} else {

files[i].delete();

}

}

}

return (path.delete());

}

This one will delete your folder, even if non-empty, without troubles (excepted when this directory is locked by OS).
