> I called this method, but the target directory was not deleted.
> The source of this method is as follows.
> ----------
>     private static void deleteDirectoryOnExit(File directory) throws IOException {
>         if (!directory.exists()) {
>             return;
>         }
>         cleanDirectoryOnExit(directory);
>         directory.deleteOnExit();
>     }
> ----------
> In other words, this method calls "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" in order of "grandchildren -> children -> parent" for files of the target directory hierarchy.
> There is following mention in javadoc of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit".
> ----------
> Files (or directories) are deleted in the reverse order that they are registered.
> ----------
> Therefore, I think the calling order of "java.io.File#deleteOnExit" should be reverse.
> How will be it?
