You can use Path#delete! from the path class. It removes recursivly each
entries in a path.
It's availiable there: http://www.lepton.fr/ruby/path (v0.4 was just

If you want a way to iterate with deepest items first, you can try to
reverse-sort an array generated through Find.find.
But I'm not sure this is what you want.
