The problem is that the individual files, which appear within the users
home directory, appear to be readonly and impossible to delete. The user
should be in control of the files that appear within his home directory.
And that you can't delete individual files but you can delete the whole
folder do
You can delete the "Examples" symlink as a user, so what's the problem?

The solution I proposed in the first comment is easy and doesn't seem to
have any negative consequences as far as I can see, so why not implement
that?

I know you can do that, but most people don't know anything about
packages or purging them and neither should they. Any content in the
home directory should be under the control of the user and they should
not need some developer specified way to delete certain files.

A directory and a few symlinks take up virtually no space, so that is no
good reason not to do this. And you shouldn't need sudo to delete
anything that is anywhere within your home directory, so reopening.

That is a feature; if we were to make it not a symlink, we'd probably
get bug reports about why we're not conserving space. resason stands;

Yes, that is exactly the technical cause of this bug. That is why I
suggested making a real directory instead with individual symlinks for
all the files.

That's correct, because it's a symlink, you can't remove the actual
files because they're owned by root. invalidated.

This is probably because the examples folder is actually a symlink to
the actual examples folder somewhere else. Yet this gives very strange
results in behaviour to the user. I think a solution for this would be
to make a real examples folder on the users desktop containing symlinks
