Cleanup user specific settings from z/OSMF filesystem

User specific settings are being stored in multiple places in the z/OSMF filesystem. Users come and go, and when a userid is removed from a z/OS system, his/her user specific settings remain in the z/OSMF filesystem on this system. Over time this is building up. Next to that, a user name that is removed from the system previously, can potentially be assigned to another person in the future causing the user to inherit the old settings of someone else instead of the default. 

We need a way to remove user specific references out of the z/OSMF filesystem. An administrative function in z/OSMF UI would be a nice to have. The requirement would be to have a callable function (API) so we can add the cleanup of the zosmf filesystem in our automated process when we remove userid's from the system. 
Removal of user specific settings would need to be limited to z/OSMF administrator (IZUADMIN). (Or the user him/her self so a user can delete his/her own settings, but that's a nice to have))
