When changing the version in UGameUserSettings, the expected behaviour is that GameUserSettings.ini will be wiped/delete and then regenerated. The actual behaviour is that within the ValidateSettings function, IFileManager fails to find the file, and therefore does not wipe or delete it.
1) Create a blank C++ project
2) Create a subclass of UGameUserSettings
3) Override IsVersionValid
4) Place a breakpoint in UGameUserSettings::ValidateSettings
4) Run the editor from IDE
5) Step through ValidateSettings
6) See that IFileManager::Get().Delete(*GGameUserSettingsIni) fails to find the file
