In our AD network we are using Roaming profiles. When I activate the policy &quot;Delete cached copies of roaming profiles&quot; it does not seem to work properly. Sometimes it deletes the cached copy on the local computer after the user logs off , but most of the time it doesn't. I guess it has something to do that there are still files locked during log off. But is there a way to solve this issue to get the local cached copies of the roaming profile deleted , so they don't consume the space of the hard drive as at some computers (Windows XP) &nbsp;in our organisation a lot of people are logging in .

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
