@SaadBazaz do you want to contribute?

@jcubic I can try giving it a go. Any pointers to where I can start?

You should just get familiar with the code, it was a while when I read the code I don't remember where you should start. But there are not much code in this project.

FWIW I ran into this issue and just used unlink on a directory and it worked as I expected it to (equivalent to rm -rf). Looking at the implementation, this will probably leave "garbage" in the virtual filesystem, but if you're doing something in an ephemeral filesystem it should probably meet your needs.

Yes, it will not actually delete the files, they will just become inaccessible, because their parent is removed. They will still take up disk space, however, like you said.
