[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-17?page=all ]
Stephen Colebourne closed IO-17. -------------------------------- Fix Version/s: (was: 1.3) Resolution: Won't Fix The general agreement here is that this is a bad idea. Also, I can find no Sun bug database report logging this issue (although there are various related misconceptions). Thus, I'm closing as WontFix. Please reopen if there is a Sun bug database report, or a reproducible test case can be created. > [io] delete in FileUtils sometimes fails on Windows > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: IO-17 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-17 > Project: Commons IO > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Utilities > Affects Versions: 1.0 > Environment: Operating System: Windows XP > Platform: PC > Reporter: Wim Deblauwe > > The delete function in the FileUtils class will sometimes not delete a file or > directory on windows.
