[wp-testers] wp-images folder deleted by update-core.php

[DD32]

Many years ago, WordPress stored its images in /wp-images/ The core  
upgrade is set to delete *any* old file which has ever been included in  
WP, so thats why its deleteing it.

I'm not too sure theres a need to remove *every* ancient folder.. But  
there might be some people out there who still have it after upgrading so  
many versions
