Delete all files and folders in a directory

LocalWriteTest.php

<?php
        $this->path = BASE_FOLDER . '/x/y/z';

        if (file_exists($this->path)) {

            $objects = new RecursiveIteratorIterator (
                new RecursiveDirectoryIterator($this->path),
                RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);

            $directories = array();

            $i = 0;
            
            /** Recursive process of Folders */
            foreach ($objects as $name => $object) {

                /** Remove files as found */
                if (is_file($name)) {
                    unlink($name);
                    
                /** Hold folders until end */
                } elseif (is_dir($name)) {
                    $directories[$i++] = $name;
                }
            }
                
            /** Sort folders in reverse order and delete one at a time */        
            arsort($directories);
            foreach ($directories as $name) {
                rmdir($name);
            }

            /** Remove the seed path folder */
            rmdir($this->path);
        }
?>

There we go. Got github to let me fork it. Here are my thoughts in the actual script:
