Hi,
If you add a user to your operating system configuration file,
reconfigure, remove the user, and reconfigure again, then the user's
home directory will remain. I expected it to be deleted when I
reconfigured the second time.
Is this expected behavior?

I think (hope?) so. If I accidentally made a mistake in my system
configuration and it resulted in the deletion of my home directory, I
would be *very* angry and probably never trust GuixSD again.

Yeah, I think you're right. Not deleting the directory automatically is
the safe thing to do. Thanks for confirming the behavior is expected.
This bug report can be closed now.
