Reverts #1490
I'm going to revert this because people with existing browser storage are going to have issues if /wordpress/wordpress-remote-asset-paths is not found. That was clear when this was originally reverted, but I focused on stopping the deletion of the listing file rather than considering browser storage prior to the existence of the listing.
Tomorrow, when returning with a clearer mind, I plan to consider how we might deal with this scenario.
