Henri Yandell commented on IO-135:
----------------------------------
Looking into how to actually do IO-118; it would also require a boolean return
from deleteDirectory.
We could add private _deleteDirectory and _forceDelete methods that return
boolean and then allow this deleteQuietly to return boolean; or we could add
the patch as is and change all in 2.0.
I'm tempted by the latter - let's just apply as is.

> It is occasionally useful to delete a file or directory and not care whether
> that call succeeds or not. I'm not quite sure what others do when deleting
> a file or directory fails but most often the case is to simply log the event
> and move on.
> The attached patch includes a new method deleteQuietly() and supporting test
> cases
