> I see a lot of call sites within VFS 2 and some in my work server that do:
> {code:java}
> fileObject.delete(Selectors.SELECT_ALL);
> {code}
> It therefore seems like a sensible refactoring.
> Add to {{FileObject}}:
> {code:java}
>     /**
>      * Deletes all descendents of this file.  
>      * Does nothing if this file does not exist.
>      * Shorthand for {@code delete(Selectors.Selectors.SELECT_ALL)}
>      * <p/>
>      * <p>This method is not transactional.  If it fails and throws an
>      * exception, this file will potentially only be partially deleted.
>      *
>      * @return the number of deleted objects
>      * @throws FileSystemException If this file or one of its descendents is read-only, or on error
>      *                             deleting this file or one of its descendents.
>      */

>      * @return the number of deleted files.
