Windows – Cannot delete user profile created on Windows Server 2008

user-profileswindowswindows server 2008

I created an account on Windows Server. But the problem comes when i want to delete the user profile. I have tried deleting it from Control Panel -> Advanced Settings -> Users -> Delete the profile.

It disappears from the Users list. But it still exists in C:\>Users directory. On a further note, i also remove the account from the Control Panel -> Users Management.

Is it normal or abnormal….???

Best Answer

The procedure i have used to delete the profile is:

  1. Navigate to the control panel -> Users Accounts -> Give other users access to this computer , select the user and remove.
  2. Navigate to the control panel -> In the search box, type "advanced" -> Under System choose View Advanced System Settings. Select the user profile and Delete.

The profile is now not listed in the C:\>Users directory.
