Excluding a folder from deployment and from additional file removal

Question

If a deployment has a folder full of user generated content, I exclude it from publishing in the .pubxml file with:

<ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>somefoldername</ExcludeFoldersFromDeployment>

If you use the Remove additional files at destination option for deploying, files in this folder are still removed from the live server.

<SkipExtraFilesOnServer>False</SkipExtraFilesOnServer>

Is there any way to make the deployment process, including the clean-up of the live server, ignore a specified folder?

"Remove additional files at destination" seems to be doing what it is suppose to be doing? What do you get if that is unchecked? – Ave

Thanks for your comment. If I uncheck it then none of my deployment is 'cleaned up' by the file removal process. If I refactor some code or script names and deploy, both the old and new are left on the server. If I check the box, all of my user generated content gets cleared, even in excluded folders. It is the combination of the two options together that I am interested in achieving. – Allnight
