Storage S3 deleteDirectory Not Working?

Digging in to the docs and looking at the filesystem it looks like there is a function called deleteDirectory but when I try and use it, it does not work.

http://laravel.com/api/5.0/Illuminate/Contracts/Filesystem/Cloud.html#method_deleteDirectory

Is this a working function?

Here is my code:

public function destroy($id)
{
    // Remove property photos from AWS S3
    if(Storage::disk('s3')->exists('property/' . $id))
    {
        Storage::disk('s3')->deleteDirectory('property/' . $id);
    }
}

Ok it was how I was doing my if statement, the following worked:

public function destroy($id)
{
    // Remove property photos from AWS S3
    if(count(Storage::disk('s3')->exists('property/' . $id)) > 0)
    {
        Storage::disk('s3')->deleteDirectory('property/' . $id);
    }
}
