When you find it, just delete complete Folder associated with that profile. Look for the ProfileImagePath and look for the user account that is having this issue. 'KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows I logged out the user account and logged into another one and since the profile was deleted due to being a temporary profile, I opened 'regedit' and navigated to the following path: To verify this I went to the following settings: 'Looked under System > Advance System Settings > Advance Tab > Settings under User Profiles and user account was marked as a temporary profile' I've seen this happen before as the user account then becomes a temporary profile. When she logged in as the user who's account profile was deleted, that was when this message displayed. I just had a user call stating that they received this error due to deleting a user profile from the C:\Users directory.
