That's the expected behavior. If you specify a partition during install, it will be used. If you use the default layout, you'll get tmp on tmpfs. There's no active wiping involved, either way. tmpfs simply isn't persistent.

If you'd like to use tmpfs now, you can "systemctl enable tmp.mount" and comment out the /tmp item you currently have in fstab. When you reboot, you should have /tmp mounted as tmpfs.

Once you've done that, you can remove the partition or LV that you're using for /tmp now. Then you can resize another LV to use the free space or, if you're not using LVM, try to figure out how to do something useful with the space.
