User resource unable to remove user's home directory when set to absent in AIX

OS agent: AIX 7.1 or 7.2

when using the following manifest with puppet apply to create finch user

include add_user

class add_user {

  # add user, create homedir and set a password

  user { 'finch':

    ensure     => 'present',

    comment    => 'H Finch',

    managehome => true,

    # note the single quotes to stop $ expanding

    password   => 'Pa$$w0rd',

    home       => '/home/finch',

  }

}

the user finch gets created along with its home folder as expected

Then, if we use the following manifest to get rid of the same user

include delete_user

class delete_user{

 user { 'finch':

   ensure           => 'absent',

   managehome       => true,

   home             => '/home/finch',

 }

}

the user finch gets deleted but its home folder (/home/finch) is left behind.

I have used the same code in centos7 and both user and home folder gets deleted at once as expected

Desired Behavior:

the code should work in the same manner independently of the OS platform - here AIX and centos

Actual Behavior:

code is not removing deleted user's home directory in AIX
