Deleted Home still showing up on other user's devices

Question

Deleted Home still showing up on other user's devices

I deleted the accessories and users from a home in Apple's Home app and then deleted the home, but other users that were invited to the home can still access the home.

When the other users view the details of the home, they can see that I'm the owner of the home even though I deleted it.

Is there a way to completely get rid of this "glitched" home?

Some additional details

A home hub was never set up due to not having an Apple TV
The user I invited to the home and I both have our devices up to date (iOS 17.0.3 & iPadOS 17.0.3)
the home was updated to the New home architecture update
The home was created and users were invited before the home architecture update existed

iPad (6th generation)

If Apple Support has said that this is intended, there's nothing we can do. You can leave feedback to Apple here: Product Feedback - Apple.

I contacted apple support and they told me that this is intended functionality and that other users won't be removed from the home if it is deleted. Though I still don't know why removing somebody from the home didn't actually remove them from the home!?!
