You can disable them.

Each user gets their own private home folder that only they and the admin user can access.

 

The private home folder is created when the user logs into SMB for the first time. They may need to logut and login again to see the newly created share.

    If you disable the private home shares then no more private home shares will be created and users won't be able to use them.

    The entry on the web admin page. The web admin page is intended for administration.
