I forgot one vital piece of information. The /etc/deluser.conf file had been edited: REMOVE_HOME=1
I checked the operation of user-admin 'Delete' with both values of REMOVE_HOME. If it's 0 (the default) the home directory is not removed. If it's 1, the home directory is removed. The same message is displayed in both cases. The console command 'deluser <username>' operates similarly, but deletes the group (with a relevant message) if the user was the only member of the group.
