Henri Yandell commented on IO-118:
----------------------------------
It was to make it follow the lead of deleteQuietly and pass the return up.
I'd view a force delete as "rm -f", and that doesn't blow up if the file
doesn't exist. Throwing an exception is odd.
> Change forceDelete API to return the boolean success
