vsphere packer build with -force flag doesn't completely remove existing files - intentional?

to Packer

Running 1.8.0 on Centos7.

Building a template on vsphere with -force flag results in the encouraging message:

the vm/template Packer-Windows-Server-2019 already exists, but deleting it due to -force flag

but it actually leaving that folder in place with a single packer-tmp-created-floppy.flp file in it and creates the new template in a new _1 folder.

Interestingly, the new build folder does not contain that .flp file.

Any ideas on what I am missing to get this to clean up after itself?
