I created a new profile for a user in Win2k Pro.

Logged on as local Administrator, removed his domain account from the
specific group, then renamed his profile folder from c:\documents and
settings\joeuser to c:\documents and settings\old_joeuser. I want to delete
the old folder completely. Are there any adverse issues with that?

thx
