Description Mark Macdonald CLA 2013-03-07 10:58:55 EST 
The Node server has a handwritten algorithm for deleting a directory and its descendants (same as "rm -rf"). There is a an npm package called 'rimraf' [1] which does the same thing, but it is better tested across platforms and probably faster. Perhaps we should use that instead.
