something along the lines "remove includes and modules" directory would
work. of course with ample backup. this gets rid of contrib sometimes?
no problems, your contrib needs upgrade anyways.

I've been using Drupal for over 3 years, and every time I go to do an
upgrade of a site, I get nervous and scared.  It's a terrifying thing. 
Typically, I just say screw it and don't mess with it.  (Considering the
number of Drupal sites I've set up, that is scary).


I find in the UPGRADE.txt that it is not descriptive enough in step 3. 



It should tell you EXACTLY what to remove.  Not just tell you to
"remove old Drupal files".
