I accidentally deleted /usr/local/bin which contained brew among other things. I reinstalled homebrew and ran brew prune to get rid of broken symlinks, but when I run brew doctor, I still get the following warning:
$ brew doctor
Warning: Unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr/local/lib.
If you didn't put them there on purpose they could cause problems when
building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be deleted.

Warning: You have uncommitted modifications to Homebrew
If this a surprise to you, then you should stash these modifications.
Stashing returns Homebrew to a pristine state but can be undone
should you later need to do so for some reason.
cd /usr/local/Library && git stash && git clean -d -f

My question is, should I manually delete these files? According to this answer, I can simply leave the files (or move them to a separate folder and then run brew link <folder name> but since that answer is three years old (and about binaries specifically), I am checking to see if there is a more correct tactic.
