Pattern

If pattern is nil or empty, the path is treated as the single file or directory to delete.

If non-empty, the path is treated as a directory, all directory entries are matched by name, and all matching entries are deleted.

The pattern is a regular expression. Matching names are deleted.
When using the local filesystem, PathMatcher syntax can be used.

Examples:

• .*\.xml$ matches file names ending in .xml
• glob:*.csv matches file names ending in csv (using path matcher glob syntax)
