I have a PC which I built with User1. I created user Temp to copy the profile of User1 to default. I created a new user, User2 based on the profile. All are admins I used User2 to delete User1 using the standard methods, which appears to be successful, however after reboot I am left with a folder structure as follows. The folders are all empty. User1 Appdata Local ForensiT Migrate I am able to delete the structure with no warnings, but each time it returns after a reboot. I have tried a number of ways to delete the structure including:
I'm only here because of the folders at issue. I want to reuse the user and unless I delete this I end up with user[othertext] when I had it back. Thank you for a great tool!

I don't think this has anything to do with DefProf as such.
We had a Dell laptop that did exactly the same thing with any profile folder under C:\Users. You could delete the profile, and it would just come back at the next reboot. It looked like there was some kind of system restore application running in the background.
