The double to quickly skip over the names to MAX_LENGTH/2 looks reasonable.

I guess fileCreated should really be fileExists as it may be deleted and 
then deleted. An alternative here would be to use Files.deleteIfExists 
as that would avoid the need to introduce flags to track whether the 
directory and exist exists.
