Reverse GPO settings

We had a  number of settings that was being applied to a user via group policy to disable many desktop features such to limit user activity on the computer. We no longer want to do that. I have removed the GPO on the AD server, but when the user logs in he/she still gets the same resections, Can anything be done to reset the local settings? We are now on 2012 DC .

I See, The GPO's were deleted . So, I guess there is no way to go back. What I went in and deleted the user profile on local win 7 machine. Then , have the user sing in again, how would that work out, There local data would be safe since the profile is pointing to a server location ( I saw that in the Profile setting in AD) .

Assuming I find the deleted ones , how to I know what I need to put back?. We had no documentation as what was changed in the GPO.

I ended up recreating their profiles, but was able to reset the domain GPO to default.
I am guessing you did not have backup?
