I think the slightly tricky thing is finding out whether the directories
are actually empty after the CHICKEN core files are deleted (e.g., some

think they should NOT be deleted.

In no universe are you allowed to delete empty directories anyway.  So just rmdir each expected directory bottom-up and ignore errors.
