That might be a bit better as otherwise it's not obvious how it differs 
from Files.delete. Also to keep the names consistent then 
deleteTreeWithRetry should probably be deleteFileTreeWithRetry.

On interrupting the sleep then it looks like the methods aren't 
consistent, one will throw InterruptedException, the other will complete 
early without an exception and without the interrupt status set.

If you want then you could extend SimpleFileVisitor instead, that would 
allow you to drop the preVisitDirectory method.

A passing comment on closetest/Command is that the copyFile method could 
use Files.copy with REPLACE_EXISTING.

Also rm_minus_rf (amusing name) doesn't need to use isFile or 
isDirectory as FilesUtil.deleteFIleTree will do the right thing.
