When using `cuckoo clean`, if one of the directories under `$CWD/storage/` is a symlink, then an exception will be thrown and the files/directories that the symlink points to will not be deleted. The change here is one line of code and what it does is: - The real path of the directory (whether a regular dir or a soft link) is retrieved first and any files/directories will recursively be deleted afterwards.

Enhancement closes #3086
Consider that there were more samples to be analysed than what was originally calculated and the drive of CWD is low on space. A simple solution would be to use a symlink for all analyses to be stored on a secondary drive. However, when using
$ cuckoo clean, if one of the directories under$CWD/storage/is a soft-link, then an exception will be thrown and the directory (and its contents) that the soft-link points to will not be deleted.By retrieving the real path of the directory before calling
shutils.rmtree(), this problem is easily solved and everything works as expected.What I have tested about my change is:
