The delete task will not raise an error and your directory foo will not
exist.
I liked the feature that Gert suggested, but I see Gerry's point. What
about this:

Add an attribute, say "ignore_failures" (name open to suggestions!) that
toggles the behavior described:
And how would this differ from setting failonerror to "false"?

For example,

<!-- if foo exists, delete it otherwise do nothing -->
<delete dir="foo" failonerror="false"/>

I do see the point of it being a bit ugly when what you want to write a clean target and just delete a build folder but at the same time if the <delete> task by default ignored errors there would be no way to trigger a failure if that IS what the user wanted without adding a new attribute.
