That's an interesting thought, I've just run over the source code to see 
what we do there.

Summary: we have components that delete entire directories, both the 
Tempdir and Mkdir components can do this when being terminated, and 
that's all we've needed.

That said, DeleteFile and DeleteDir components would be useful in some 
situations, so I've added two bugreps

Deleting a single file is easy, the directory one not so hard, once you 
get into patterns it gets tricky, so don't hold your breath waiting for 
that feature.

What you can do right now is use the Ant components and just use Ant's 
Delete task, give it the pattern. Be aware that Ant's code ignores SCM 
paths (like .svn, .cvs, .git) etc, and its copy logic checks source and 
destination times by default -features you want at build time but which 
interfere during deployments
