'Custom .csproj target to delete output directories not run every time

I'm working on a custom ASP.NET Core project. I added the following snippet to my client's .csproj file to delete the previous build's artifacts when building:

<Target Name="RemoveFiles" BeforeTargets="BeforeBuild" Condition="'$(Configuration)' == 'Release'">
    <Message Text="Cleaning bin and obj directories..." Importance="high" />
    <RemoveDir Directories="$(ProjectDir)bin;$(ProjectDir)obj" />
    <Message Text="Restoring NuGet packages..." Importance="high" />
    <Exec Command="dotnet restore" />
</Target>

Unfortunately, the snippet doesn't appear to be run every time I publish but only intermittently. Does anyone have any idea why this might be the case?
