Avoiding the clean up step of tests may help in some cases but in other cases they cause the other unrelated tests to fail for unobvious reasons. It's better to cleanup a few things to keep other tests from failing as a result of it. So, cleanup a cruft left behind by an old test in order for the changes that are to be introduced to be independent of it.
