Synchronize takes place even though there is no group policy set

Hi,

I'm a bit baffled as to why this is happening.

I've been playing around with roaming profiles and folder redirection
on test accounts.
I have figured out the roaming profiles on a test network and all
seems to be going fine.

On the live network, I created an OU "test" which had a group policy
created for
folder redirection.
The folder redirection was working fine and I deleted the policy last
week (had the option set to leave the folders where they are)
However, as of this morning (nearly a week later), information is
still being redirected to the 'redirected folders' on the server
Why?

Finally, when I log off the Synchronize window appears briefly while
files are being syncronized.
Even when I had the folder redirection policy set, I disabled the
syncronize files.
I checked the default group policy for the network and there are no
folder redirection set and the entries for synchronization are all set
to disabled. So why is the machine now trying to sync files when the
default policy (no override) is set not to synchronize files?

Thanks.
Rob
