Robin Jansohn commented on IO-684:
----------------------------------
I successfully tested it with SNAPSHOT 2.8.0. Thanks again for the quick
resolution!
> Add force version of PathUtils.delete() APIs and friends.

> Key: IO-684
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-684
> Project: Commons IO
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: 2.7
> Reporter: Robin Jansohn
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.8.0
>
>
> With the changes from IO-629 I'm getting an {{AccessDeniedException}} when
> trying to recursively delete a directory with read-only files, e.g. a
> {{.git}} repository. Before this change the directory was successfully
> deleted. It is due to the difference between {{File.delete()}} and
> {{Files.delete()}} (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/12234217/3375325).
> I think an option should be introduced to make the previous behavior
> available again with an overloaded method like {{PathUtils.delete(Path path,
> boolean force)}}.
> Stacktrace:
> {noformat}
