Great post. I'm working on this right now and it was extremely helpful. Of note here is the fact that the MySite will only be deleted if the Automatic Site Deletion is enabled. This is located at:

Central Administration > Application Management > Site Use Confirmation and Deletion

I have a question regarding how the User Profiles actually get "cleared out".

Steps Taken...

1. created new LDAP Filter to limit a number of user profiles that match.

2. Ran Full User Import (Now am showing about 10,000 User Profiles that show up under "Profiles Missing from Import")

3. Manually ran 3 or 4 more Full User Imports. (User Profiles continue to show up under "Profiles Missing from Import").

When does Sharepoint actually delete these missing user profiles? Is there a step I am missing?
