> -----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: IO-276
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-276
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: Commons IO 1.4
> Reporter: nkami
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2

> Attachments: IO-276-r1201108-patch.txt

> I called this method, but the target directory was not deleted.
> The source of this method is as follows.
> ----------
> private static void deleteDirectoryOnExit(File directory) throws
> IOException {
> if (!directory.exists()) {
> return;
> }
> cleanDirectoryOnExit(directory);
> directory.deleteOnExit();
> }
> ----------
> In other words, this method calls "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" in order of
> "grandchildren -> children -> parent" for files of the target directory
> hierarchy.
> There is following mention in javadoc of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit".
> ----------
> Files (or directories) are deleted in the reverse order that they are
> registered.
> ----------
> Therefore, I think the calling order of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" should be
> reverse.
> How will be it?
