I tend to leave them there unless it's an application I'm really familiar 
with as I find the samples tend to have pretty good comments and I might 
want to go back and look at them.

I agree though, they do get in the way at times, but when I have removed 
them, I don't remember pkg_delete every complaining about it... maybe a 
warning that it couldn't find the file (which might be a problem if you 
for other pkg_* commands)...
