OK; I could rm -rf the subdirs

(sid)root@frodo:/# ls -l /user /share/
/share/:
insgesamt 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 12. Feb 17:53 config

/user:
insgesamt 8
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 12. Feb 17:53 extensions
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 12. Feb 17:53 uno_packages

and then find out whether the dirs and empty and then remove them.

but rm -rf'ingf /user/extensions or even more /user/config is also
something you would object against, no?

Grüße/Regards,
