You must select this checkbox when you create a new profile. Otherwise the list will not be populated with items from AD.

Delete list items when AD items are deleted: whenever an AD item is deleted, the corresponding item in the SharePoint list will be deleted after the synchronization. Or if the AD item(s) is removed from the sync scope, the corresponding item(s) will be deleted too.
