Public bug reported:

If you attempt to delete two swift files (objects) which are named
"spam" and "spammer" then the first will fail because Horizon's swift
api code layer attempts to determine if the object has any folder
contents. Yep. And because of the way swift "folders" are implemented
(string prefix matching) the result from swift will be "yep, there's two
matches for that prefix" so the Horizon code swift_delete_object()
throws up a conflict error (folder not empty).
