Yeah, since Windows Vista/7, when Documents and Settings was moved to Users, the system creates new user directories with a bunch of symbolic links/junctions that don't seem to be properly created and always cause issues when copying the directory to another place or deleting the directory. I always get this problem when moving my profile directory out of the system partition.

Incidentally, it's amazing that Windows still doesn't let you specify a custom location to create the profile directory of a new user.
