Is Confluence user directory sync supposed to remove users?

Question

My Confluence 3.5 is integrated with JIRA 5 as the authentication source.

When I delete a user in JIRA, it does not remove it in Confluence. There is no way it appears to delete this user in Confluence so it continues to show up in the People Directory.

This is rather cumbersome especially when user was created with the wrong username.

Hi Septa, this is not the behavior I'm seeing. The user has no content created (no personal space too), but the sync does not remove the user.

Hi David,

If the user has create a content in Confluence, it won't delete it as its already associated with the content.

The list of users in People Directory does not mirrored your users base as it will listed all of your users that have created a content into Confluence such as page or comment. Please vote on this feature request in regards to filtered "People Directory"

Hope it clarify your doubts on this issue.

Yes, I already tried forcing a manual sync. No dice.
