Java Tutorial : Java IO (Java File - How to delete directory - recursive delete) 
DeleteDirectory.java
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;

public class DeleteDirectory
{

private static final String SRC_FOLDER = "D:/work/java";

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{

File file = new File(SRC_FOLDER);
/*
* make sure directory exists
*/

if (!file.exists())
{
System.out.println("Directory does not exist.");
}
else
{
DeleteDirectory deleteDirectory = new DeleteDirectory();
deleteDirectory.deleteDir(file);
}

}

public void deleteDir(File file) throws IOException
{

if (file.isDirectory())
{

/*
* If directory is empty, then delete it
*/

if (file.list().length == 0)
{
deleteEmptyDir(file);
}
else
{
// list all the directory contents
File files[] = file.listFiles();

for (File fileDelete : files)
{
/*
* Recursive delete
*/

deleteDir(fileDelete);
}

/*
* check the directory again, if empty then
* delete it.
*/

if (file.list().length == 0)
{
deleteEmptyDir(file);
}
}

}
else
{
/*
* if file, then delete it
*/

file.delete();
System.out.println("File is deleted : " + file.getAbsolutePath());
}
}

private void deleteEmptyDir(File file)
{
file.delete();
System.out.println("Directory is deleted : " + file.getAbsolutePath());
}

}
