Delete the Unix directory that is inside the hidden directory using Ant

I'd really appreciate an answer, despairing a little on this question:

I am trying to delete folder "A" which is under a hidden folder called ".b"

path is root / .b / A and root / c / d

root is represented by $ {user.home}

I can remove the "d" using:

<delete dir="${user.home}/c/d" includeemptydirs="true" failonerror="false" />

but cant delete A:

    <delete dir="${user.home}" defaultexcludes="no">
        <include name="**/A/*"/>
    </delete>

    <delete dir="${user.home}/.b/A" includeemptydirs="true" failonerror="false" />

Both methods didn't work. Any ideas?

Works for me ...

Example

$ mkdir -p ~/.dummy/A
$ ant

run:
   [delete] Deleting directory /home/me/.dummy/A

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 0 seconds

$ find ~/.dummy
/home/me/.dummy

Version



$ ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.4 compiled on April 29 2014

build.xml

<project name="HelloWorld" default="run">

  <target name="run">
    <delete dir="${user.home}/.dummy/A" verbose="true"/>
  </target>

</project>

For me in Groovy ex = filedir = c: / user / work

ant.delete(includeemptydirs: 'true') {
                fileset(dir: filedir, includes: '**/*', defaultexcludes: "no")
            }

In Ant, the task after adding



defaultexclude = no

then it will remove hidden files as well. Above Ant task is to delete all contents of working folder
