2.2.2 and Roaming Profiles with Win2k

I have a similar problem. I had roaming profiles working. I don't know what
bothered me but I messed around with it and it stopped saving the profile to
the pdc and only gave me a local profile. So I said ok. Let's delete the
profile directory and start from scratch. No go there. The win2k box has some
profile saved locally on the box now and I can't even delete it as admin. It
still tries to save the profile to the server but gives errors on loading and
then just opts for the local one.
Can somebody tell me how to delete a stubborn folder in win2k where it says:
"folder access denied. folder in use"
Oh I remember how the whole thing started. I had deleted /etc/MACHINE.SID
(because of my sid map problem) and tried to log back onto the domain and then
the profiles got messed up.
