Try this code

 public class DeleteDirTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        DeleteDirTest test = new DeleteDirTest();
        boolean result = test.deleteDir(new File("D:/test"));
        System.out.println(result);         
    }

    public boolean deleteDir(File file) {
        if (file.isDirectory()) {
            String[] children = file.list();
            for (int i = 0; i < children.length; i++) {
                boolean success = deleteDir(new File(file, children[i]));
                if (!success) {
                    return false;
                }
            }
        }
        return file.delete();
    }

}
