Daniel Temme created IO-522: ------------------------------- Summary: Symbolic links get followed in deleteQuietly Key: IO-522 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-522 Project: Commons IO Issue Type: Bug Components: Utilities Affects Versions: 2.5 Reporter: Daniel Temme Priority: Critical
IO-168 describes the problem. `deleteQuietly` will behave correctly for nested symlinks but the initial call erroneously calls `cleanDirectory`. Calling `deleteDirectory` and returning would probably be the better behaviour (analogous to `forceDelete`) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
