Method

voiddeleteRecursively(Path directory)
Deletes a directory recursively. 
Files.walkFileTree(directory, new FileVisitor<Path>() {
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path dir, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
        return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
        Files.delete(file);
...
voiddeleteRecursively(Path path)
delete Recursively 
try {
    if (!Files.exists(path, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)) {
        return;
    if (!Files.isDirectory(path, LinkOption.NOFOLLOW_LINKS)) {
        Files.delete(path);
    } else {
        Files.walkFileTree(path, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
...
voiddeleteTmpDir(Path path)
delete Tmp Dir 
try {
    Files.deleteIfExists(tmpBase);
} catch (Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
voiddeleteTreeBelowPath(Path startHerePath)
Delete the whole file tree below the given path. 
List<Path> dirPaths = new ArrayList<>();
Files.walk(startHerePath).forEach(path -> {
    if (Files.isDirectory(path)) {
        dirPaths.add(path);
    } else {
        try {
            Files.delete(path);
        } catch (IOException e) {
...
voiddoDelete(@Nonnull Path path)
do Delete 
final FileStore fileStore = Files.getFileStore(path);
if (fileStore.supportsFileAttributeView("dos")) {
    setAttribute(path, "dos:readonly", false);
    setAttribute(path, "dos:system", false);
    setAttribute(path, "dos:hidden", false);
Files.delete(path);
voidforceDelete(Path path)
Forces the deletion of the file or directory corresponding to the specified path. 
Files.walkFileTree(path, DELETER);
voidoptimisticDelete(Path path)
Delete a file (not recursively) and ignore any errors. 
if (path == null) {
    return;
try {
    Files.delete(path);
} catch (IOException ignored) {
StringreadAndDelete(final Path p)
Read and delete file and return the content. 
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try (BufferedReader bfr = Files.newBufferedReader(p, Charset.forName("UTF-8"))) {
    String line = bfr.readLine();
    while (line != null) {
        sb.append(line);
        line = bfr.readLine();
Files.delete(p);
return sb.toString();
voidrecursiveDelete(Path directory)
recursive Delete 
Files.walkFileTree(directory, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
        Files.delete(file);
        return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    @Override
    public FileVisitResult postVisitDirectory(Path dir, IOException exc) throws IOException {
...
voidrecursiveDelete(Path path)
Note: Keep an eye out for recursive delete being added to the core Java API in the future - there are certain circumstances in which this can be unsafe. 
if (Files.isDirectory(path)) {
    Files.walkFileTree(path, new SimpleFileVisitor<Path>() {
        @Override
        public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path file, BasicFileAttributes attrs) throws IOException {
            Files.delete(file);
            return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
        @Override
