Hi Sha,
There are a couple things I can recommend:
* To see what you are deleting, do:
<tasks>
<echo message="Deleting ${the_directory}..."/>
<delete dir="the_directory"/>
</tasks>
Of course, if you are hardcoding a directory as opposed to using e.g.
${basedir}/something, then this won't be very helpful
* Ant's delete task has an annoying habit of deleting *only* the files
inside of a directory, not the directories themselves. To get it ot
delete the directories, you need to:
<delete dir="the_directory" includeemptydirs="true"/>
Thanks,
Ryan Slobojan
