Deleting old instance profiles

Question:
Hi all!!
After a system copy, i had forgotten delete old profiles when instance was still. I always forgot this range of activities... So now, from rz10 i cannot delete these old profiles
How can i do that? Because know i have this message in SM21 transaction:
Client server_SID_00 is not known to the message server
Thanks in advanced
Answer:
step 1 - Copy valid profiles out of the directory.
step 2 - RZ10 - select a profile, choose Delete -> all versions -> of a profile' and answer Yes to delete the ones at OS level.
repeat this for all profiles
Step 3 - delete all files in the profile directory apart from the default start and instance that are valid.
Step 4 - From RZ10 choose Utilities -> Import profiles -> of active servers.
All this can be done with the instance up.
You may want to check RZ03 afterward and any problems there will require redefinition of RZ04.
