You may need to take ownership first by selecting properties/security/advanced
ownership and change ownership to administrators being sure to select the box to
apply to all child objects. Then you should be able to go into
properties/security and give administrators full control. Then you should be
able to delete the profile unless corruption is involved and then sometimes
using something like fileacl can force necessary changes that may not propagate
through Windows Explorer gui. --- Steve
