Hello,

Recently, I have come across a rare but reproducible problem on Windows here. Removing directories recursively using removeDirectoryRecursive would sometimes fail. This has been documented in many places, including in #96.

This pull request documents this behavior for future users.

It looks like there's an algorithm for deleting directories on Windows without the need for retries: #110
