This will considerably simplify implementations of removing directories, moving/copying directories across drives, etc.

i'm confused, why are we jumping into recursive directory iteration first?

Please un r? me here. I do not believe moving/copying directories across drives is any sort of priority for us.

It's not a matter of "first", it's a matter of everything else in my todo list waiting for reviews :)

Plus, the work on thumbnail storage by ttaubert and/or myself requires removing directory structures. Which in turns requires being able to walk them.

I'm skeptical of the need for this. If you are stuck on reviews, snappy bugs are a better priority than stacking on top of unreviewed work.

Well, if you look at thumbmail storage, there is a method |wipe: function Storage_wipe| that removes a directory hierarchy, completely on main thread.

Btw, this bug is not based on unreviewed work. It is based on landed work (bug 764436).

I don't have time to work on this at the moment.
