User Folders not Deleted with GPO "Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on a system restart"

Hi,

We've configured the GPO setting "Delete user profiles older than a specified number of days on a system restart" which is applied to Windows 10 Enterprise computers.

This setting successfully deletes local user profiles after the specified number of days, but leaves the user profile folders at C:\Users\

You can check under 'Advanced System Settings --> User Profiles'  and the profiles are not listed, however the users profile folder is not removed from C:\Users\  All the user data and files are still present taking up disk space, freeing up space is one main reason for wanting this setting.

The next time the same user logs in, they get a user profile folder under C:\Users\  in this format 'username.domainname'.  If they login again they get 'username.domainname.001', then 'username.domainname.002' and so on. 

Similar to this: https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/2115362-gpo-delete-user-profiles-older-than-a-specified-number-of-days

This cant be expected?
