Hi

My roaming user profile folders we're created in a directory on the server when I created the user accounts. A user has since left and I deleted the account. I now want to delete the profiles folder for the account, but when I click on the proflie folder and hit delete it won't allow me to, it says that the profile is in use.

Any ideas?
 
Try to make yourself the owner of the directory, and deleting it like this. If this doesn't work, you can try to boot the server into save mode, than you should be able to delete the directory!

Another thing you can do is find out which process is using the folder => stop or kill the process and than remove the folder.

kind regards
