delete

Source

/**
 * Deletes this [FileSystemEntity].
 *
 * If the [FileSystemEntity] is a directory, and if [recursive] is false,
 * the directory must be empty. Otherwise, if [recursive] is true, the
 * directory and all sub-directories and files in the directories are
 * deleted. Links are not followed when deleting recursively. Only the link
 * is deleted, not its target.
 *
 * If [recursive] is true, the [FileSystemEntity] is deleted even if the type
 * of the [FileSystemEntity] doesn't match the content of the file system.
 * This behavior allows [delete] to be used to unconditionally delete any file
 * system object.
 *
 * Returns a [:Future<FileSystemEntity>:] that completes with this
 * [FileSystemEntity] when the deletion is done. If the [FileSystemEntity]
 * cannot be deleted, the future completes with an exception.
