page 1050 of Windows XP Inside Out states
you should not move, copy, or delete entire profiles directly from
Windows Explorer. Instead, you should use the User Profiles dialog box.
To get there, right-click My Computer and choose Properties, or choose
System in Control Panel. On the Advanced tab, click Settings under User
Profiles.
page 1051 continues
From the User Profiles dialog box, simply select a profile and click
Delete. Deleting profiles in this manner ensures that the appropriate
profile also gets removed from the registry.
