How to recreate an RDP profile (2012R2)?

Actually the problem is old.
When logging in via RDP to the server, the following is thrown in the logs
: Remote Desktop Services could not apply the user's desktop to the user account with the security ID
The profile in the meantime is used like this TEMP.000 although the username is completely different.
I tried to delete branches in the registry as described in these articles
https://anandthearchitect.com/2014/01/09/rds-2012-...
www.pei.com/2013/05/temporary-profiles-on-server-2 ...
It got even worse.
Now the start is empty, the server manager gets enough sleep with an error. Those. the profile generally clumsily works.
Actually, can I somehow delete all the profile data and go in so that the profile is created on the server from scratch?

The reason is most likely that the disk / directory where the user profile is located is not available or there are no rights. Another option is that the user's registry is broken in the profile, but in this case, Windows usually tries to fix it.
You can see where local user profiles are located here:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList\ProfilesDirectory
This is usually c:\Users, but there may be other options. The rights to this directory should be standard - specifically, you can look at any normally working machine.
In the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry branch, find the subsection with the SID of the problem user (you can also determine the desired SID by the ProfileImagePath parameter, which contains the full path to the user profile).
Next, use the ProfileImagePath parameter to see if the profile is available, if the user has rights to this directory.
If everything looks fine, then delete the directory with the user profile specified in its ProfileImagePath (you can also rename it if it is dear to you), and also delete the entire section with the user SID from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ ProfileList.
With these actions, you will completely delete the profile and Windows will start creating the profile again the next time the user logs in.
Because If you have a domain user, then the domain policies may specify a different location for the user profile, for example, on the network. Then you need to make sure that you have access to the network server containing the user profile. The actions are basically the same, only the location of the profile will be on the network.

Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts\Manage Accounts\Delete Account - Delete then log in again, a new profile will be created
