retry unpack keeps the _UNPACK folder

When I have to retry a release because the unrarring failed (e.g. drive full), it continues normally by first unrarring and then calling the post processing script. Somehow, however, I then end up with both an _UNPACK_'foldername' and a 'foldername' folder. To make it worse, all files remain in the _UNPACK folder, so nothing is postprocessed.

We're very reluctant to remove anything in your media destination.
Suppose we ever make an error in SABnzbd which will wipe your precious collection.
Other than that when a user script has run, we don't know what happened to the files.
I understand it's inconvenient, but we're rather be paranoid on this issue.
