How to delete a directory even when it still contains files?
906
The non-empty directory means the directory with files or subdirectories. We can delete the directory by using the Delete() method of the Directory class.
In Java, to delete a non-empty directory, we must first delete all the files present in the directory. Then, we can delete the directory. In the above example, we have used the for-each loop to delete all the files present in the directory.
Is not possible with Dir (except iterating through the directories yourself or using Dir.glob and deleting everything).
You should use
require 'fileutils' FileUtils.rm_r "/usr/local/var/lib/trisul/CONTEXT0/meters/oper/SLICE.9stMxh" When you delete a directory with the Dir.delete, it will also search the subdirectories for files.
Dir.delete("/usr/local/var/lib/trisul/CONTEXT0/meters/oper/SLICE.9stMxh") If the directory was not empty, it will raise Directory not empty error. For that ruby have FiltUtils.rm_r method which will delete the directory no matter what!
require 'fileutils' FileUtils.rm_r "/usr/local/var/lib/trisul/CONTEXT0/meters/oper/SLICE.9stMxh" If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
