open static fun deleteRecursively(@Nullable root: File): Boolean
Delete the supplied File - for directories, recursively delete any nested directories or files as well.
Note: Like File#delete(), this method does not throw any exception but rather silently returns false in case of I/O errors. Consider using #deleteRecursively(Path) for NIO-style handling of I/O errors, clearly differentiating between non-existence and failure to delete an existing file.
root - the root File to delete
Return
true if the File was successfully deleted, otherwise false
