/**
* Delete the entire tree. This is an internal one with slightly different behavior: if an entry
* is missing, a {@link FileNotFoundException} is raised. This lets the caller distinguish a file
* not found with other reasons for failure, so handles race conditions in recursive directory
* deletes better.
*
* <p>The problem being addressed is: caller A requests a recursive directory of directory /dir ;
* caller B requests a delete of a file /dir/file, between caller A enumerating the files
* contents, and requesting a delete of /dir/file. We want to recognise the special case "directed
* file is no longer there" and not convert that into a failure
*
* @param path the path to delete.
* @param recursive if path is a directory and set to true, the directory is deleted else throws
* an exception if the directory is not empty case of a file the recursive can be set to
* either true or false.
* @return true if the object was deleted
* @throws IOException IO problems
* @throws FileNotFoundException if a file/dir being deleted is not there - this includes entries
* below the specified path, (if the path is a dir and recursive is true)
