Paket deletes the home directory

[queil]

I am using Paket.Core 10.0.0-alpha011

With the following invalid paket.dependencies file (look at the last line):

source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json

storage: none
framework: net10.0
nuget Spectre.Console ~> 0.54
github myorg/repo:main ~>

I often make this mistake due to mostly referencing nugets. As soon as I type ~ in the last line, (or compile the script), my home dir gets wiped out. Incidentally the delete fails due to access denied on some files, hence I can see what code is responsible:

System.Exception: Error during cleaning of /home/me
  - Access to the path '/home/me/.local/share/docker/image' is denied.
 ---> System.IO.IOException: Access to the path '/home/me/.local/share/docker/image' is denied.

Indeed, it shouldn't go outside the GitHub repository. We could add a verification step.
Have I missed a use case?

@fpellet, agreed it could be a good sanity check and approach for a fix, however it may not be pervasive, this would be good enough first step. Thanks for formulating it.
