How can I remove the home folder for a deleted user on windows 7?
- In Control Panel → System click Advanced system settings.
- In the User Profiles group click Settings….
- Select the entry labeled "Account Unknown".
- Click Delete.
You can directly load the User Profiles dialog by running the following command:
rundll32 sysdm.cpl,EditUserProfiles
You can also use WMI for deleting orphaned profile folders, e.g. via PowerShell:
Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile -Filter 'RefCount=0' | ForEach-Object {
$_.Delete()
}
