Feature request: FSLogix redirection.xml Exclude path "Delete" attribute

In the FSLogix redirection.xml file it would be useful if you could add a "Delete" attribute to the path which deletes the content of path within the container as part of the redirection.

This would be useful in scenarios when post deployment / go-live you discover application(s) that bloat the profile container with unnecessary files/folders and want to recover the space.

Currently when you discover such applications and add them to the redirection.xml file only files subsequent to this are excluded but profile containers that are already bloated, stay bloated and the files/folders are not removed.

The documentation says "create a script to run after sign-in..." but when you have 20,000+ users this isn't very efficient and it would be much "cleaner" if the FSLogix process handled this.

Example

<Exclude Delete="0">AppData\Local\BadApp</Exclude>

Redirects the "AppData\Local\BadApp" and deletes any existing data from the profile container. The folder will be empty in the profile container at sign-off.
