Delprof2

Delprof2 is a powerful utility designed to delete inactive user profiles on Windows systems from the command line. It is the unofficial successor to Microsoft's original Delprof, which does not work on systems newer than Windows XP, and is distributed by Helge Klein as a freeware tool. The program is designed for system administrators who need to delete multiple user profiles quickly and easily.

Features

Delprof2 offers a wide range of features to help system administrators manage user profiles on Windows systems. Below is a list of the main features:

Delprof2 allows for the quick and easy deletion of multiple user profiles on a local or remote Windows system.

• Command line interface: Delprof2 is a console program without a graphical interface. It is syntax compatible with the original Delprof, so existing scripts and batch files keep working.

• Multi-user profile support: Delprof2 can delete multiple user profiles at once. Run without parameters, it deletes all inactive profiles except your own and special system profiles such as Default.

• Customizable filters: Administrators can use include (/id) and exclude (/ed) patterns with the wildcards * and ? to specify which user profiles should be deleted. This allows them to target specific user profiles for removal.

• Network support: Delprof2 can delete user profiles from remote computers on a network with the /c switch. This makes it easier to manage user profiles across multiple systems.

• List-only mode: with /l Delprof2 only lists the profiles it would delete, without deleting anything, so you can check the result first.

• Age filter: /d deletes only profiles that have not been used for a given number of days, and /r deletes only locally cached copies of roaming profiles.

• Unattended operation: the /u and /q switches skip confirmations, and /i ignores errors, which makes Delprof2 suitable for scripts and scheduled tasks.

• Security and long paths: Delprof2 uses backup and restore privileges to delete even tightly secured profiles, handles paths longer than 260 characters and cleans up stale ProfileList registry entries.

• Free: Delprof2 is distributed as a freeware program for personal and commercial use. It needs no installation and comes as a single executable file.
