If you already have the list of fully-qualified
files/directories that need to be deleted you may want
to:
1) Write the list out to a temp file
2) use the includesfile attribute of the <fileset>
element that is nested inside a <delete> task
3) Add a includeEmptyDirs="true" attribute to the
<delete> to insure empty directories are deleted.
In summary, try the following
<delete includeEmptyDirs="true">
<fileset dir="${basedir}"
includesfile="${delete_list.file}"/>
</delete>
Hope this helps
