This is not by design.
I suspect that the local profile is being used because a connection problem left the DC temporarily unreachable????
Make sure that you implement User Profile Hive Cleanup Service (UPHClean).

Hi Jerold, thanks for taking the time to reply to my post.
I was aware of those two tips but have not used www.jsifaq.com, so it is now
on my Favorites.
I tried to include all the relevant information in my orginal post, but this
probably meant my main question got lost in it.
My Main question is:
When using Roaming User Profiles, and a user typically logs in to many
different PCs say, 10+
If they delete files from their local cached profile. The fact that they
have been deleted, gets propogated to the server copy of the profile. Which
is as it should be.
The problem is, when the user now logs onto a different PC that they have
used in the past, where those deleted files still remain in the local cached
profile, the reconciliation of the profiles that occurs at logon, doesn't
delete them. After logon, the deleted files remain in the Local Cache, but
not on the server copy. When the user logs off, the files (which should have
been deleted?) are copied back to the server copy of the profile.
I need to know if this is by design or not? It would seem crazy if it is.
The Technet documentation on User Data & Settings Management seems to
indicate that, files once deleted from the local cached profile, should not
reappear. If it is by design then it would mean a user has to delete profile
files from every PC they have ever logged into, otherwise they would be in
danger of returning. I know there is a Group Policy setting which can cause
the Local Cached Profile to be deleted automatically when logging off, but I
want the profile to be cached to keep quick logon times, also it wouldnt help
in this case, as the Local Cached Profile for a user will already exist on
many machines already, containing many old files ready to be copied back to
the server copy of the profile, even if they no longer exist in the server
copy.
There is a Technet Article 283902, which may be relevant, but my problem
seems to be the other way around.
