I deal with the same problem long ago. On one Samba site I have 800+ users which uses 30 PC, and remaining previous user's home directory very soon shows dozens visible directories, and causing full mess. This is not problem with Samba, it's up to the Windows Networking.

I solved that by avoid using [homes] built-in section, but using generic [personal] share, with this main option:

[Personal]
path = %H
...

This ensures that each user's home directory is always named "Personal" (not by user's name), pointed to right each user's home path, and without remaining multiples homes (because it is only one share name).

Try that, and say if this satisfies you.

HTH,
