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....???

The procedure i have used to delete the profile is:
The profile is now not listed in the C:\>Users directory.

I'd delete the c:\users directory after you are sure that the account has been removed from the users.

thanks for your response. Soon after posting the question, i was able to delete the profile. Just i have to remove it from the advanced user profile settings. – user2052801 – 2014-04-22T19:36:20.090
Sounds good....M$ has a way of changing the place to go on things between releases. Its a pain as I know what I want to do just not where it is hidden. Like the power off in Windows 8 for example. :-) – mdpc – 2014-04-22T19:38:11.130
loll...true. I agree.:) – user2052801 – 2014-04-22T19:40:03.630
is this a local user or did you set this windows server 2008 install up as a domain controller? If it is not a domain controller, is it on a windows network with a domain controller, or is this strictly a local account? Is the account 'guest' or 'administrator'? Do you have administrative rights over this machine? Did you add the user via Control Panel > Advanced > Users? – Richie086 – 2014-04-22T19:37:52.183
