Recursive node deletion

Dear list members,

At the moment if I need to delete some node that has child nodes which in it's turn have child nodes I have traverse the whole tree and to delete children before I can delete parent.  

What is the logic behind it and why can't I delete a node that has children ?

Regards,
Dima Gutzeit.

Dima,
 You can use ZKUtil.java in 3.4 (being voted on) to do the recursive
delete for you.

thanks
