Delprof.exe is available in the Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit.= It is a command-line utility that you can use to delete user profiles on a loc= al or remote Windows 2000/XP/Server 2003 based computers. User profiles can gr= ow large and may take up considerable disk space, especially if there are seve= ral users using one computer. Because of this, you may want to use Delprof.exe = to free disk space by deleting profiles that are no longer required. However, because each profile on the computer is presented in order when you run the utility, you may want to use the Graphical User Interface (GUI) instead of = the command-line tool whenever this is possible. You must be logged on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group to delete user profiles. <![if !supportLineBreakNewLine]> <![endif]><a name=3Dbottom><o:p></o:p></a> <a name=3D2></a><b= >Overview of the Delprof.exe T= ool<o:p></o:p> Delprof.exe uses the delprof /q /i /p /r /c:\\<var>computer na= me</var> /d:<var>days</var><= /b> syntax.
