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 ).
