Summary

This solves a flaky test on Windows.

We have similar logic elsewhere for log files. I considered trying to combine them, but since they are methods of different objects, there wasn't really a clean approach.

How about add a function to lldbsuite\support\fs.py?

def remove_file(file, num_retries, sleep_duration):

Then just call this everywhere you need to. Could even nuke this whole RemoveTempFile method.

Consolidated the os.remove and os.unlink calls with a function to do the retries. Tested on Windows.

I think the default for num_retries should be 0. Usually you just want to try once without retry.

You could do for i in range(num_retries+1): and get rid of a bunch of the counter updating and junk

I disagree. Every call site was already doing exactly one retry. I don't see value in making each of them specify that explicitly.

Fine, but that changes the behavior a bit. My approach avoided that extra sleep after the last retry.

Ahh, you're right, I didn't notice that.
