Does VACUUM on Delta Lake also clean Iceberg metadata when using Iceberg Uniform feature?

I'm working with Delta tables using the Iceberg Uniform feature to enable Iceberg-compatible reads. I’m trying to understand how metadata cleanup works in this setup.

Specifically, does the VACUUM operation—which removes old Delta Lake metadata based on the retention period—also trigger deletion of the corresponding Iceberg metadata? Or is Iceberg metadata managed separately and requires its own cleanup process?
