samba - Nov 2022 - Unable to delete a domain user from a server

My issue/request is more about properly removing the "profile"
/home/user
directory properly. Can I just do 'rm -rf /home/user'?

Once an AD user is deleted with something like 'samba-tool user delete 
$USERNAME', then any any home directories on Unix computers become 
orphaned and, if no longer required, they can be deleted with 'rm -rf 
/home/%USERNAME'.
