Because the cleaning just plain doesn't work. The number of screwups far outnumbered the (small) benefit.

eg VIDEO_TS folders were "cleaned" as were MPEG_TS folders (down to "MPEG"). Anything with a date in it was cleaned of the date, often leading multiple files to be indistinguishable.

Basically, the cleaning routine is poo. Make it better, and we can consider re-enabling it.
