Example
Create a folder, then try to create it again:
import java.io.File;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File myFolder = new File("newFolder");
myFolder.delete(); // Delete the folder if it already exists
System.out.println(myFolder.mkdir());
System.out.println(myFolder.mkdir());
}
