yeah that's not exactly what I'm looking for either. It doesn't scale
at all for large groups of files, nevermind big trees of stuff (for
example, we delete /usr/local, all of it, during install). Usually when
we need to do a true "force" of a delete, we just do a shellcommand of
rm -f, and let it keep trying to delete the missing files forever.
I'd much rather use tidy in all situations, however.

Is there some way to tell cfengine, "Irregardless of anything about
the file except for its existence, please delete this file"? I don't
see anything like a "force" in the documentation.
I know this is probably not what you are looking for, but I like it
because it is concentually simpler.
classes:
foo_exists = ( FileExists(/path/to/foo) )
shellcommands:
foo_exists::
"/bin/rm -f /path/to/foo"
Best,
