By overwrite the directory, I assume you want to delete the contents of the directory if it exists, you can do that as follows:
if File.exists?('test') && File.directory?('test')
    Dir['test/**/*'].reverse.each { |path| if File.file?(path) then File.delete(path) else Dir.rmdir(path) end }
else
    Dir.mkdir('test')
end

directory has the same name of the existing directory.
