User profile recreated with old data

Hi Guys,

I am totally baffled by this, A user was getting a VB error when opening
office which dissapeared when I logged on as another user, so I thought I
would recreate their user profile by renaming their profile and logging back
on. Strangely, the same files appeared in the profile, including my docs,
desktop and favourites. I completely moved any profiles that existed for
that user out of the 'docs and settings' folder but any new profiles are
created with the files aready in the profile.

I checked the userprofile path by running 'echo %username%' and the profile
matches the one that was recreated. I have also checked the default user and
all user profiles and they don't have the files saved in them. I have even
deleted the domain user from 'control panel-> user accounts' but to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas about creating a fresh profile?
