How to resolve the “notempty” error when deleting a folder in log4j2?
When deleting a folder with log4j2, an error “notempty” will be thrown if the folder is not empty. To solve this issue, you can use the following method:
- Delete a folder using the FileUtils utility class.
import org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils;
public class Log4j2DeleteFolder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
FileUtils.deleteDirectory(new File("path_to_folder"));
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
- Delete folders using recursion in Java.
public class Log4j2DeleteFolder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File folder = new File("path_to_folder");
deleteFolder(folder);
}
private static void deleteFolder(File folder) {
File[] files = folder.listFiles();
if (files != null) {
for (File file : files) {
if (file.isDirectory()) {
deleteFolder(file);
} else {
file.delete();
}
}
}
folder.delete();
}
}
Both of these methods can be used to delete non-empty folders, but be sure to replace “path_to_folder” with the actual folder path when using them. Also, to avoid accidental deletions, please use these methods to delete folders with caution.
