AFAIK folders don't really exist in S3. Once objects inside a folder are 
deleted the folder no longer exists. So deleting the contents and deleting the 
folder are the same thing.

> In some situations, it can be desirable to delete the entirety of a 
> directory's contents, but not the directory itself (e.g. when it's a S3 
> bucket). Perhaps we should add an option for that.
