> Assignee: Matt Sicker
> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 4h
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> 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.
