Jira (PUP-9514) tidy: Allow removal of old directories, even if not empty
Title: Message Title Dirk Heinrichs commented on PUP-9514 Re: tidy: Allow removal of old directories, even if not empty OK, tested on Windows and it's working there, too. Anyway, after more than 2 years I can't remember anymore what exactly wasn't working back then. Thanks Josh Cooper for looking into it.

Anyway, I've already moved it into a Powershell script, triggered by a scheduled task.

Re: tidy: Allow removal of old directories, even if not empty
Tidy already deletes directories when using recurse and rmdirs => true.
# find /tmp/out-1/
/tmp/out-1/
/tmp/out-1/file1
# cat tidy.pp
tidy { 'cleanup':
path => '/tmp',
matches => ['out-*'],
age => '1s',
recurse => 1,
rmdirs => true,
}
# puppet apply tidy.pp

The tidy resource currently doesn't allow removal of non-empty directories. But sometimes this is exactly what is needed. For example we have a Windows application which doesn't cleanup after itself and leaves behind lots of directories with name "out-*" which I would like to remove after some days. Unfortunately, those directories are written to the root of drive D:, alongside other directories, which ought to be kept (but shouldn't need to be traversed). So the approach I'd like to use is:
tidy { 'cleanup_d':
path => 'D:/',
matches => ['out-*'],
age => '7d',
