Recursively delete all files and directories in the specified filepath.

If the specified path is a directory then the function will call itself recursively to process the contents. Once the contents have been removed the directory will also be removed.

If the specified path is a file then it will be passed to file_unmanaged_delete().

Note that this only deletes visible files with write permission.

see file_unmanaged_delete()
