Because you did a make installworld (or something to that effect) just
after that? (Or at least before you needed one of the includes that you
have deleted.)

What I do once in a while to get rid of old stuff is something like this:

cd /usr/src
make world
mv /usr/include /usr/include.old
mv /usr/share /usr/share.old
make -m share/mk installworld
rm -rf /usr/include.old /usr/share.old

This will give me a clean /usr/include and /usr/share. Then for the rest
of the directories (/bin /sbin /lkm /usr/{bin,sbin,libdata,libexec,lib})
I just look for the old ones and remove them with find.
