It should remove them automatically -- in fact it does for me.
You'll need to give us some more details about your system:
What operating system is this?
What version of libguestfs?
Did you use our binaries or compile it yourself?
Are you using the C API directly?
Do you get the same problem from guestfish or from libguestfs-test-tool?
