What happened?

During a composer update, the function "recursiveDelete()" fail because the folder doesn't exist and block the update process.

Steps to Reproduce

Delete the folder "system/ThirdParty" and run the command composer update

Expected Output

Only the Cannot recursively delete "/home/myst/xxxxxxx/system/ThirdParty/" as it does not exist. message without the Exception.

Anything else?

Can be solved by simply add a return; in the if of recursiveDelete().

If you remove files in system, CI4 won't work.

Why would system/ThirdParty not exist in the first place?

[LeMyst]

Hello @kenjis and @paulbalandan ,

I don't know, but I was in this case.

Maybe a previous recursiveDelete() fails, maybe something else, but I think it's better to not fail the entire update process only because a "delete folder" function can't delete the folder because the folder is already deleted.

[kenjis]

Yes, if the script is terminated by some reasons right after recursiveDelete() execution, system/ThirdParty/ does not exist when the next execution of composer update.

So, the case where system/ThirdParty/ does not exist could happen.
