We can't be sure there are no files from the user/admin in the base system directories. We also can't assume a specific partition layout. We also don't know about strange symlinks, so writting such an automation isn't straight forward. The approach I've choosen needs a little bit of initial amount of work to gather a list of files to remove, but IMO it's the safest way of removing files without the fear of causing strange sideeffects.
