Delete roaming profiles

santeilam · 03-07-2009, 01:56 AM

Hello

i have created a lan with a windows server pc and a windows xp pc. Also i have created some users for the xp workstation.
I created roaming profiles for each user .
My problem is that i want to delete a profile file that had been created in the server pc.
How that can be done?

You can go to where the profile is stored and delete it. Then you can edit the users properties and change there roaming profiles settings so that they files will not be created again after you delete them.

Check and see what permissions that you do have to the folders. Since you changed the ownership then you can give yourself the appropriate permissions so that you can delete the folders
