The problems probably to do with the fact that your WebdavResource is now
pointing at a non-existent resource (i.e. newFile).
Try setting the path to point at the directory, and then re-issuing the
deleteMethod.
i.e.
webDavResource.setPath(newDirectory);
boolean directoryDeleted = webDavResource.deleteMethod();
Hope this helps.
