Subject: [PATCH] org-attach.el: Use `force' arg everywhere in
 `org-attach-delete-all'
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* lisp/org-attach.el (org-attach-delete-all): Use `force' arg
throughout function.

`org-attach-delete-all` advertised a `force` option but passing it
only forced its way past the initial "Really remove all…" query.  This
was unexpected and not properly documented.

This extends the use of the `force` argument to the `delete-directory`
call and documents its meaning in the docstring.
