hmm, that's interesting/confusing, it is doing some amount of
deleting... just not complete.

Before the install, I did this:

sudo su
touch /home/test/this-should-be-deleted
touch /bin/this-should-be-deleted
touch /boot/this-should-be-deleted
touch /etc/this-should-be-deleted
touch /lib/this-should-be-deleted
touch /lib64/this-should-be-deleted
touch /sbin/this-should-be-deleted
touch /selinux/this-should-be-deleted
touch /usr/this-should-be-deleted
touch /var/this-should-be-deleted

and after the install these still existed

/boot/this-should-be-deleted
/home/test/this-should-be-deleted
/selinux/this-should-be-deleted


but the bottom line is that installing over the top of an existing os does not 
actually work properly, you must either manually delete it or else format the 
partition.
