How to remove all local profiles with exceptions

by Brian on 21. Sep, 2010 in Gsolutions

If you have multiple User Profiles on your machine and wish to remove them but you don’t have a Windows installation disc handy and you don’t want to format the drive, you can do so by using the simple script below.

If you have a profile that you do not want to delete, simply add another “Case…IsException” clause to the script using the name of the profile in quotation marks, like “this”.

Const LocalDocumentsFolder = “C:\Documents and Settings\”
  set objFSO               = createobject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)
  set objFolder            = objFSO.GetFolder(localdocumentsfolder)
on error resume next
 
for each fldr in objFolder.SubFolders
  if not isexception(fldr.name) then
    objFSO.DeleteFolder fldr.path, True
  end if
next
 
Function isException(byval foldername)
  select case foldername
    case “All Users”
      isException = True
    case “Default User”
      isException = True
    case “LocalService”
      isException = True
    case “NetworkService”
      isException = True
    case “Administrator”
      isException = True
    case Else
      isException = False
  End Select
End Function

To run this script, copy its content into Notepad and save it as a “.VBS” file, for example DeleteLocalProfiles.vbs.
