[bug] Running QHub within home directory will delete files in home directory

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

If a user runs the typical install process from their home directory.

conda create -n qhub -c conda-forge qhub==0.3.12
conda activate qhub

qhub init ...
qhub deploy ...

This will delete file within the home folder. This is due to the logic in https://github.com/Quansight/qhub/blob/744060aeaf19c194d39fd418c9834790c21f9f00/qhub/render/__init__.py#L139.

Acceptance Criterial

remove all os.remove and shutil.rmtree logic in QHub this is too much of a risk for qhub.

@iameskild cheers 😃 Good practice to just run it from inside the correct directory anyway, which works fine for me.
