Delprof2

Many users set up multiple accounts on the same system in order to provide others access to the computer.

However, in some cases this may be on a temporary basis and removing all the data associated with those accounts can prove to be a tedious, time-consuming task.

Less experienced users may even choose to reinstall the operating system and be done with all the loose ends, only this entails re-creating the software base, which can also turn into a time waster.

Fortunately, there are several solutions that can help with the task and Delprof2 is one of them. The application is console-based, but, unlike other programs lacking a graphical interface, this one is not too difficult to work with.

The developer informs that this tool is the unofficial successor of Delprof, a Microsoft utility specifically created for this purpose, but which does not work on Windows versions beyond XP.

There are similarities between the two programs as they share the same syntax. However, Delprof2 offers the possibility to specify the profiles that need to be deleted.

Moreover, according to the developer it can bypass the security settings in order to achieve its task, regardless of current permissions or the owner. Additional functionality includes the possibility to deal with long paths without problems.

If you want to remove all the profiles except the current one Delprof2 can be run without any parameter and the job is done. On the other hand, the tool is capable of more complex operations, that allow removing only the caches of roaming profiles and preserving the local profile.

Alternatively, it can be used to delete the profiles that fit a user-defined period of inactivity, and errors can be automatically ignored in the process.

Delprof2 is a powerful tool that can do more than what is seen at a first glance. It makes available plenty of parameters for enabling the run of customized jobs. Keep in mind that the application is not free for commercial use.
