Uhm yes, maybe.
If you use include/exclude patterns some files might be left over so
some directories are empty and others are not. Consider
<delete dir="build/classes">
<include name="**/*.class" />
</delete>
on Ant's own build directory. This will delete everything in
build/classes/org/apache/tools/tar but in
build/classes/org/apache/tools/ant the file defaultManifest.mf is
left.
The purge attribute is thought to control whether the tar dir is to be
deleted or not.
