After a while, I realised you weren't asking a question, but rather
giving an answer.
In case it's of any use to anyone else here: if a database's dir
contains non-database files, the dir will not be removed following a
'DROP DATABASE'.
thanks Victoria!

My lord, this is our first offense, but not our last. If you will
be easy with us this once, we promise, on our word as gentlemen,
to try to do better next time. And next time sure we won't be
fools to get caught.
