Deinstallation of IBM Installaion Manager products doesn't clean up the package group directories

After deinstalloation of IBM Installaion Manager products, the package group directories are not deleted.
This is the same behaviour with all Software installed by Installation Manager and therefore seems to be a Problem with the Installation Manager.
This leads to failures while reinstallation of these or new versions, if the same package, and therefore, directory name will be used.
