------------------------------------
Hi [~mattsicker]
Right you are, please see {{PathUtils}} :-)
> FileUtils.deleteDirectory() doesn't specify how it handles links
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-576
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-576
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.5
> Environment: Linux
> Reporter: david cogen
> Priority: Major
> Labels: documentation
>
> If the directory I specify to FileUtils.deleteDirectory() contains a symbolic
> link, does it follow the link and delete all the files the link points to?
> (I HOPE not!)
> But without the promise, I consider this too dangerous to contemplate using.
