--------------------------------

             Summary: Read-only files are not deleted anymore (regression)
                 Key: IO-684
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-684
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Utilities
    Affects Versions: 2.7
            Reporter: Robin Jansohn


With the changes from IO-629 I'm getting an {{AccessDeniedException}} when trying to recursively delete a directory with read-only files, e.g. a {{.git}} repository. Before this change the directory was successfully deleted. It is due to the difference between {{File.delete()}} and {{Files.delete()}} (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/12234217/3375325).
I think an option should be introduced to make the previous behavior available again with an overloaded method like {{PathUtils.delete(Path path, boolean force)}}.
