deleting problems

hello I've got problems to delete some dirs with ant.
I've got a root directory : 
${dossier.installation.up}/production

in which i want to delete all the 'prod' and 'upcat' subdirectories

I tried this : 

<delete>

<fileset dir="${dossier.installation.up}/production">

<include name="**/prod/**"/>

<include name="**/upcast/**"/>

</fileset>

</delete>

but it only deletes the contents of those...

and i tried this : 

 

<delete>

<fileset dir="${dossier.installation.up}/production">

<include name="**/prod"/>

<include name="**/upcast"/>

</fileset>

</delete>

but it doesn't work



does  anybody have an idea of how i can do this?

thanks for your help

You need to add the attribute "includeemptydirs" to the
delete task:
    <delete includeemptydirs="yes">
      <fileset dir="production">
        <include name="**/prod/**"/>
        <include name="**/upcast/**"/>
      </fileset>
    </delete>
