Windows user profile?

I have a windows user that has a windows user profile that is over 500mgs. First, is a profile of this size normal and second, what happens if I delete this profile and let the user log on again creating a new profile? This is not a roaming profile

Well the reason its 500MB is that the users is probably saving all the work on the desktop or my documents. If you delete it all the users work will be gone. And the user will have to start from scratch. If you think you have it bad now delete that users profile with out backing it up and see how they can make your life even more miserable.

DON'T DELETE HIS PROFILE UNTIL YOU BACK IT UP!!!! You can monitor him but don't delete the users work.

500 megs is allot of space....what is he doing?..delete him and monitor his actions...he is taking advantage of a situation.
500MB profile is not that large. I have dealt with much larger profiles, in the GB range. You must remember a profile not only consists of user settings, but consists of "My Documents", any desktop content, and even outlook and email profiles.

If you delete this profile and allow her/him to create a new one you will lose all the above info.

I recommend making a backup copy of there profile before you delete anything. If you want you can just rename the C:\Documents and Setting\%userprofile% folder and then have the user log on. It will create another folder and profile.
