     Eventually is pretty much trying a test in a loop and that encourages 
flakey tests - I am in general not a very big fan of using eventually. 
    The correct approach is to fix the non-determinism. Being able to detect 
that all files have been deleted has value - and gives easy debuggability. 
Being able to deterministically to know that all files are gone before 
proceeding does help debuggability.
    
    I don't really believe we are actually a accommodating  the test - we are 
really fixing the code to allow deterministic testing.
