The feature to purge unmanaged object files is not working correctly on the current master branch.
The issue is that the recurse, purge and force attributes are only set on the file object for /etc/icinga2/objects/. Because the subfolders are also file objects in puppet, the values set in the parent object file will not be inherited to the subfolders.

One approach to solve this issue would be to set the attributes on every subfolder object. But this will create more redundancy (the class icinga2::server::config already has a lot of redundancy).
A second approach would be to define two hashes. One with the default values containing the ensure, owner, group, mode, recurse, purge and force attribute and a second hash containing the paths for each object. Than the objects are created using create_resources.

I would gladly fix this issue, but would like to discuss it first on how to do it.
