Deleting a non empty directory

[Kostas Zoumbatianos]

Hi, I am getting an exception when I use Dir.delete on a non empty
directory.
What should I do to remove a non empty directory?

Thanks,
Kostas

Use Dir.each to iterate over the items in the dir, and call
File.delete on them. Then call Dir.delete.

Or use FileUtils::rm_rf:

Be careful though. ;-)
