Server 2019 User Profile Disks and IE 11 Roaming
if you are getting backups created then the User profile is not being removed gracefully and remnant are left in the registry at these locations and the settings in the UPD will be as before.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\ProfileList
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\ProfileGuid
You can either remove the old Profiles from the System - Advanced System Setting and remove the profile or if they are not there, use regedit to remove any remnants from the registry
(Get the Users SID using the following command)
wmic useraccount get name,sid
The connection to the UPD drives must be reliable and good performance

Thanks for the reply. It isn't the "backup" folders we are being left with (though I have seen these created when a server is first moved to UPD's), rather we are beig left with username, username.000, username.000.001 etc.
Unfortunately IE doesn't cope well with this, where on Roaming Profiles it was OK.
Hopefully it will be a relatively short lived issue as we need to wean our users off IE anyway!

That's correct check the Registry, once you clean the registry they will not get the additional Temp profiles created.
This points to the UPD either too slow or getting disconnected.
As you have 2019 you can now use FSLogix Profile Containers
