what roaming profile files can i delete?

[lenny]

Hi,
I had a client logging on from a PC to the Server with a Roaming Profile (a
mistaken setup) but have now stopped that. What files can I delete safely to
free up space that were added because of the roaming profile but will not
affect the clients work when logging on as a thin client now.

Probably all of them, depending on how you configured him. Use
the standard method: Move the lot to some other location, then
wait a few weeks until you're sure that all is well before deleting them.

In control panel, system, profiles/advanced, you should be able to see &
delete the cached profile. Either that or use delprof from the resource kit.

I would follow this suggestion with one caveat. Download the latest and
greatest from the Microsoft's download site and then you can create a
scheduled task that will automatically delete profiles if they are X amount
of days old (X being whatever number you fill in ).
