That seems like normal behavior.  Windows always keeps a local
copy of the roaming profiles - that's just how they work.  It
copies the profile from the server during logon, then uses the
local copy.  Any updates to the profile are copied back to the
server during logoff.

And yes, the profiles are difficult to delete from the local
system!  There are different ACLs in use, and some of them
have a really tight hold on the files they protect.  But, if
you really want to delete a local profile, it can be done.
