Hi Sam,
I think this is a failing of the documentation rather than the code.
Deleting shapefiles is not implemented; however, you can hide a
shapefile by DELETE'ing its configuration. Something like:
curl -XDELETE http://localhost:8080/geoserver/rest/folders/foo
This leaves the shapefile on disk, but removes it from the GeoServer
configuration so that it isn't served. I don't think excluding DELETE
was an explicit design decision, so adding that in should be fine. I'll
take a look sometime soon, but if you want to try and put together a
patch I'm happy to advise ('soon' may be relative in this particular case).
Hope this helps,
David Winslow
