 Chatting with @SergeyBiryukov, it seems that `$wp_filesystem->delete(
 $old_file, true )` is called on entries in the array and the second
 parameter, `$recursive`, is set to `true`. So, individual files aren't
 necessary when the parent directory is included.

 Some precedent exists higher up for older version where individual files
 were excluded, such as `wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/wpembed`.

 Props to @SergeyBiryukov for the discussion.
