Guava提供了一行代码:morefiles . deleterecursive()。

与许多共享的示例不同，它只考虑符号链接，并且不会(默认情况下)删除所提供路径之外的文件。

在Java 7中，我们终于可以通过可靠的符号链接检测来做到这一点。(我不认为Apache的commons-io现在有可靠的符号链接检测，因为它不处理Windows上用mklink创建的链接。)

出于历史原因，这里有一个java 7之前的答案，它遵循符号链接。

void delete(File f) throws IOException {
  if (f.isDirectory()) {
    for (File c : f.listFiles())
      delete(c);
  }
  if (!f.delete())
    throw new FileNotFoundException("Failed to delete file: " + f);
}

处理异常的最佳解决方案是，方法抛出的异常应该总是描述该方法试图(和失败)做什么:

private void deleteRecursive(File f) throws Exception {
    try {
        if (f.isDirectory()) {
            for (File c : f.listFiles()) {
                deleteRecursive(c);
            }
        }
        if (!f.delete()) {
            throw new Exception("Delete command returned false for file: " + f);
        }
    } 
    catch (Exception e) {
        throw new Exception("Failed to delete the folder: " + f, e);
    }
}

一行程序解决方案(Java8)，递归删除所有文件和目录，包括起始目录:

try (var dirStream = Files.walk(Paths.get("c:/dir_to_delete/"))) {
    dirStream
        .map(Path::toFile)
        .sorted(Comparator.reverseOrder())
        .forEach(File::delete);
}

我们使用一个颠倒顺序的比较器，否则File::delete将不能删除可能非空的目录。所以，如果你想保留目录，只删除文件，只需在sorted()中删除比较器或完全删除排序，并添加文件过滤器:

try (var dirStream = Files.walk(Paths.get("c:/dir_to_delete/"))) {
    dirStream
        .filter(Files::isRegularFile)
        .map(Path::toFile)
        .forEach(File::delete);
}

这是一个接受命令行参数的基本main方法，您可能需要附加自己的错误检查或将其塑造为您认为合适的方式。

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DeleteFiles {

/**
 * @param intitial arguments take in a source to read from and a 
 * destination to read to
 */
    public static void main(String[] args)
                     throws FileNotFoundException,IOException {
        File src = new File(args[0]);
        if (!src.exists() ) {
            System.out.println("FAILURE!");
        }else{
            // Gathers files in directory
            File[] a = src.listFiles();
            for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
                //Sends files to recursive deletion method
                fileDelete(a[i]);
            }
            // Deletes original source folder
            src.delete();
            System.out.println("Success!");
        }
    }

    /**
     * @param srcFile Source file to examine
     * @throws FileNotFoundException if File not found
     * @throws IOException if File not found
     */
    private static void fileDelete(File srcFile)
                     throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
        // Checks if file is a directory
        if (srcFile.isDirectory()) {
            //Gathers files in directory
            File[] b = srcFile.listFiles();
            for (int i = 0; i < b.length; i++) {
                //Recursively deletes all files and sub-directories
                fileDelete(b[i]);
            }
            // Deletes original sub-directory file
            srcFile.delete();
        } else {
            srcFile.delete();
        }
    }
}

我希望这对你有所帮助!

public static void deleteDirectory(File path) 
{
    if (path == null)
        return;
    if (path.exists())
    {
        for(File f : path.listFiles())
        {
            if(f.isDirectory()) 
            {
                deleteDirectory(f);
                f.delete();
            }
            else
            {
                f.delete();
            }
        }
        path.delete();
    }
}
