[jira] [Created] (IO-522) Symbolic links get followed in deleteQuietly

Daniel Temme created IO-522:
-------------------------------

             Summary: Symbolic links get followed in deleteQuietly
                 Key: IO-522
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-522
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.5
            Reporter: Daniel Temme
            Priority: Critical


IO-168 describes the problem. 

`deleteQuietly` will behave correctly for nested symlinks but the initial call erroneously calls `cleanDirectory`. Calling `deleteDirectory` and returning would probably be the better behaviour (analogous to `forceDelete`)
