I guess the OP asked the hotel to remove the contents of the fridge? I almost always use the hotel fridge, mini-bar or not, as I try to eat healthy when I travel and often make my own salad. I just stick my stuff in there around the existing junk put there by the hotel, trying not to move their stuff due to the sensors, but sometimes I have to. It is very rare that there is an attempt to charge me, and if so, I simply say that I had to move things around to see what was available, but did not consume anything. Yes I guess some times I have had to remove some bottles to make room for my own stuff but, knock on wood, never had an issue. I would not have occurred to me to ask the hotel to remove the contents, interesting idea.
