First, you won't be able to delete a profile if it is the current user's
profile - but I'm assuming you know that. Second, you'll want to remove
profiles using the user profile tab of the system properties dialog
(right click My Computer -> Properties). Log in as admin to the local
box, and delete it then if all else fails. It will likely not resolve
the profile name, but instead say 'Unknown Profile'.
