Does "Include Entire Directory" remove copied files after the package is deployed?

This is a bit of a mundane question, but do the files copied over to the target workstation using the "Include Entire Directory" option get deleted after the package deploys?  I have a massive folder and file set for Visual Studio 2019 (35GB) that is getting copied over to each machine in a computer lab.  I want it to install, but I don't want 35GB worth of install files left on those computers afterwards.  Can someone clarify this for me?

  Yes. All files that are copied to targets get deleted at the end of the deployment.

  are partially copied files removed even if a deployment fails?
