> Particularly for Windows environments where deleting files can turn into a hassle due to the inability to remove open files, I would like to provide a file deletion utility class that has the ability to retry deletions with exponential backoff, force override file attributes to allow for deletion, and deleting as much as possible while accumulating errors.
> This functionality was originally inspired by and based on functionality in Jenkins hudson.Util class.
