public class Delete extends org.gradle.api.internal.ConventionTask implements DeleteSpec
Deletes files or directories. Example:
 task makePretty(type: Delete) {
   delete 'uglyFolder', 'uglyFile'
   followSymlinks = true
 }
 
 Be default symlinks will not be followed when deleting files. To change this behavior call
 setFollowSymlinks(boolean) with true. On systems that do not support symlinks,
 this will have no effect.Task.NamerTASK_ACTION, TASK_DEPENDS_ON, TASK_DESCRIPTION, TASK_GROUP, TASK_NAME, TASK_OVERWRITE, TASK_TYPE| Constructor and Description |
