The FileSystem library uses DeleteVisitor and PostorderGuide (depth-first) to delete a directory and all its children. All its children? No. Symlinks are protected from deletion: DeleteVisitor>>visit: aReference PostorderGuide show: aReference to: self selecting: [ :entry | entry isSymlink not ] I didn't find any unit-test or documentation about why symlinks are excluded from deletion. I don't see any reason. I'm quite sure the author had a reason to do that but I don't know which one.
