How about removing directories:

~/src/cmake-test$ cmake --version
cmake version 3.0.2

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).
~/src/cmake-test$ mkdir foo

~/src/cmake-test$ cmake -E remove foo
~/src/cmake-test$ echo $?
1

~/src/cmake-test$ cmake -E remove -f foo
~/src/cmake-test$ echo $?
0
