Description:
When moving Branding to Private DocStore it does not remove the Legacy Files permitting them to be recopied in perpetuity.
Steps to Repeat:
The following steps simulate the creation of a legacy theme. It is no longer possible to create a legacy theme.
  1. Log into Blackboard Learn as an Administrator
  2. Navigate to System admin > brands and themes > Theme and Palette Catalog
  3. Download the stock "Bb Learn 2016" theme
  4. Create a New theme
  5. Re-upload theme with name & ext-ref "new_theme"
  6. Go to System admin > Manage Content > /internal/branding/themes download the folder new_theme as a ZIP
  7. Delete the folder
  8. Upload the ZIP file to the Appserver and unzip it under the correct directory — creating the parent directory if needed.
  9. Restart Tomcat via ServiceController several times

Observed Behavior: 
It is copied to "/internal/branding." But: It is never removed from the legacy folder. 

Note: since the directory is not removed, each time Tomcat is restarted it copies it anew. 

Expected Behavior:

The branding folder is moved to the Xythos  "/internal/branding" area — IE it is deleted from the legacy VI folder. Subsequent restarts do not undertake to migrate.
