Description

file_utils.rmtree, which was created with pull request #523, is copied from an old version of shutil. The new version, post python 3.7, should be used.

New version: https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/v3.13.2/Lib/shutil.py#L714

Research direction

Locate the implementation of file_utils.rmtree and compare it with the linked Python 3.6.15 and 3.13.2 shutil versions, focusing on the post-3.7 implementation. Done means the local function has been updated to use the newer version's behavior; no test file is mentioned in the issue.
