I have two directories, say, A and B. A has several files: a1, a2, a3. B also has several files: b1, b2. First, I use the following ant tasks to copy all the files from B to A.
<copy todir="A" verbose="true">
<fileset dir="B" includes="*"/>
</copy>
Then I want to undo the steps, i.e. delete the files in A which are copied from B, namely b1 and b2. How can I achieve the goals?
NOTE: the file names in the example are just used for us to understand the problem. I do not know the exact file names in the two directories.

Type del "* - Copy. *" and press Enter. That command erases (permanently!) all files whose titles end with - Copy .
To remove a directory and all its contents, including any subdirectories and files, use the rm command with the recursive option, -r . Directories that are removed with the rmdir command cannot be recovered, nor can directories and their contents removed with the rm -r command.
Using the -r flag to deleting a non-empty directory. If you do not want a prompt before deleting the directory and its contents, use the -rf flag. This will remove everything inside the directory, including the directory itself, without any confirmation.
You should use a Selector to populate the FileSet of those files you want to delete. Try the Present Selector. Here's a target to complement your example:
<target name="copy" >
<copy todir="A" verbose="true">
<fileset dir="B" includes="*"/>
</copy>
</target>
<target name="uncopy" >
<delete verbose="true">
<fileset dir="A" >
<present present="both" targetdir="B"/>
</fileset>
</delete>
</target>
