[jira] Commented: (IO-135) Add convenience deleteQuietly to FileUtils

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-135?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#action_12542821 ] 

Niall Pemberton commented on IO-135:
------------------------------------

Looks reasonable, my comment would be IO-118 requests forceDelete to return a boolean - probably would be useful here too.

> It is occasionally useful to delete a file or directory and not care whether that call succeeds or not.   I'm not quite sure what others do when deleting a file or directory fails but most often the case is to simply log the event and move on.
> The attached patch includes a new method deleteQuietly() and supporting test cases
