No, this is wrong. People were told to remove install.php from the server, not the install folder. Just the opposite: People who asked have explicitly been told to leave the install folder on the server, because it contains files like the style or language xml files that can be useful when troubleshooting. This is why you can't access AdminCP after install/upgrade when install.php is present, but you can access AdminCP perfectly when the install folder is present.

You should at least get your facts straight before you tell people it's their own fault.
