Important considerations when using tree-delete

Although the targeted directory tree is immediately removed from the file system namespace and the listing of the parent directory, the client continues to have access to parts of the directory tree it had acquired access to prior to deletion, until these parts are actually deleted in the background. Users should be mindful of the fact that changes to a directory tree (creation and deletion of files/directories) after submission for deletion are detected by tree-delete, and all such new content is deleted before tree-delete considers its job done.
