Public bug reported:
This concerns command-not-found 20.04.2 in Ubuntu focal.
The apt-get invocation largely tells the story:
# apt-get --purge --autoremove remove command-not-found
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
The following packages will be REMOVED:
command-not-found*
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
After this operation, 35.8 kB disk space will be freed.

I'm purging the package, these files clearly belong to it, that
directory should be gone.
(Side note: apt-get should be reporting "python3-commandnotfound is no
longer needed," since command-not-found is the only package that depends
on it, but for some reason this isn't happening. That's why I had
specified the --autoremove; I was expecting to remove two packages.)
