## Summary This PR updates `FileUtils.deleteQuietly(File)` so that it does not clean the target directory contents when the input file is a link-like directory (a symbolic link or Windows junction). Both `deleteDirectory(File)` and `deleteDirectoryOnExit(File)` check `!isLinkLikeDirectory(directory)` before invoking `cleanDirectory(directory)`. Previously, `deleteQuietly(File)` only checked `file.isDirectory()` before calling `cleanDirectory(file)`, which could delete target files when `file` was a link-like directory pointing to an existing directory. Checking `!isLinkLikeDirectory(file)` ensures safe, consistent deletion behavior across all `FileUtils` directory deletion methods. ## Changes - Updated `FileUtils.deleteQuietly(File)` to check `file.isDirectory() && !isLinkLikeDirectory(file)`. - Added unit test in `FileUtilsCleanSymlinksTest#testDeleteQuietlySymlinkDirDoesNotCleanTarget` verifying that deleting a symbolic link directory via `deleteQuietly` removes the link entry without deleting files inside the target directory. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
