A commmon mistake... No. It's an idiot mistake. It's an idiot mistake that should have been caught by code review. It should have been caught by release engineering. It never should be made in the first place because deleting files that your software didn't create in the first place is asinine. If your software does this you should be fired. End users should be free to install software without having to sort through their backup/recovery process.
