 That would be nice to remove existing translation files when a plugin or a
 theme is manually deleted (by FTP or whatever).

 Themes/plugins translation files are already removed when the theme/plugin
 is deleted with WordPress Admin, but still exist when the theme/plugin are
 manually deleted by FTP or so.

 To reproduce the issue:

 1. Activate a plugin which is translated into your website language (other
 than en_US)
 2. Delete the plugin folder (by FTP or whatever)
 3. Problem: the translation files still exists in `wp-
 content/languages/plugins` folder

 If you delete the plugin with WP Admin Plugins screen, the translation
 files are actually deleted.
