Not by me, I originally posted to microsoft.public.win2000, but when I
saw the lack of action on that group (1 post every two or three days),
decided it was better off posted elsewhere.

If you've got a link to an answer posted to a similar question on
another group, please post a link. I would love to see it.

I apologize -- it is very similar to an unusual question, but
on second reading I see it is in fact a little different.

So you cannot delete the profile on the Server or else on the
local computer (maybe both).

What have you tried? (Anything beyond just delete in Explorer?)

One of the most dangerous commands anywhere:
(make SURE you give the correct path):

del /s /q Path_To_Profile

How about taking ownership first? Then giving yourself
FC, then try the delete (including the dangerous one above
if Explorer doesn't work.)

Sometimes if files are open, one must reboot before the
files are fully closed and such deletes work (but I don't
like to suggest gratuitous reboots.)
