Replying to [comment:1 gwoo]:
> is there a reason to use the file class for this?
Alternatives as calling proc_open("rm -rf") are not so safe and not OS
agnostic.
This trivia would not let *delete* follow symlink to directories (which
could be outside origin directories).
This would make the delete operation work in a broader range of cases.
My case was lacking precision:
The delete operation on a Folder fails (and tells it can't rmdir a non
directory) when there is inside it symbolic link whose targets is a
directory.
If you work on a folder, and already have a Folder managing it, I think
the logical way to delete it if you have to is calling Folder::delete and
this operation should work.
This could happen if you let users upload archives, you extract them in a
tmp folder, do your work, then delete folder or part of it.
