Hi,
That is an error in the documentation. Deleting a directory deletes
the directory and all of its children.
Thank you for pointing it out--we'll get it corrected.
Thanks,
-Danny

delete thedocuments in the directory?
Really?

4.2 Collections Versus Directories
Collections are used to organize documents in a database. You
can also use directories to organize
documents in a database. The key differences in using
collections to organize documents versus
using directories are:
* Collections do not require member documents to conform to any
URI patterns. They are
not hierarchical; directories are. Any document can belong to
any collection, and any
document can also belong to multiple collections.
* You can delete all documents in a collection with the
xdmp:collection-delete() function.
Deleting a directory does not delete the documents in the
directory (unless you use a
WebDAV client to delete a directory).
* You cannot set properties on a collection; you can on a
directory.
Except for the fact that you can use both collections and
directories to organize documents,
collections are unrelated to directories. For details on
directories, see "Properties Documents and
Directories" on page 98.
