URL: https://github.com/apache/commons-io/pull/72#issuecomment-685786776
Hi All,
For the basic operations, please use version 2.7's `IOExceptionList` and
`PathUtils` methods:
- `delete(Path)`
- `delete(Path, DeleteOption...)`
- `deleteDirectory(Path)`
- `deleteDirectory(Path, DeleteOption...)`
- `deleteFile(Path)`
- `deleteFile(Path, DeleteOption...)`
WRT:
- maxRetries;
- waitBetweenRetriesMillis;
- backoffMultiplier;
- retryOverridingFileAttributes;
- overrideAllAttributes;
Perhaps these attributes could encapsulated in a new `CopyStrategy
implements DeleteOption, CopyOption` class (where deleting is a kind of copying
[to the bit bucket]) which could then be used by both _delete_ and _copy_
methods in `PathUtils`?
WDYT?

> Priority: Major
> Time Spent: 2.5h
> 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.
