Description

It would be nice to have recursive flag in remove_directory function. CLI already has this flag in rmdir.
Currently we have to delete each child of each folder manually before we can delete the folder.

Research direction

Start at scheme_client.remove_directory and compare its API with the recursive flag already supported by the CLI rmdir command. Trace how child directories are currently handled; done means callers can remove a directory tree through this function without manually deleting each child.
