 remove all files.

 I missed that your suggestion is that only files defined via a filter
 would not be removed. I thought all non-plugin files would be kept meaning
 a plugin author couldn't remove no longer used files.

 Still though, I think it's bad practice to store user modified content in
 a plugin folder.
