The current behavior of generating a new project deletes all the files in the original directory before writing new contents. If there are symlinks to other directories, AbstractWriter#delete follows the symlink and deletes the files in them too.
This caused problems when I create symlinks to large directories like the SDK, which were completely wiped out when I generate a new project.
