             Summary: Add DeleteFiles utility class for more robust file 
deletion strategies
                 Key: IO-596
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IO-596
             Project: Commons IO
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: Utilities
            Reporter: Matt Sicker
            Assignee: Matt Sicker


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.
