Delete a folder in project root from build.gradle in Module

Question

I use following task to delete a folder in current module :

task clearJar(type: Delete) {
    delete 'build/generated/'
}

To delete from another module in the same project:

delete project(':test').file('build/')

What if I want to delete a folder in root project in build.gradle under a module?

Answer 1

This worked for me:

delete "$rootProject.projectDir/build/"
