Call center's training room PC throwing "Low Disk Space" warnings. 256GB drive showing only 2GB free. Users couldn't save documents or install updates. Windows Disk Cleanup recovered 500MB - not enough. This was a shared PC used by rotating trainees for 3 years.

Every trainee who logged in over three years created a profile. Domain profiles averaged 4GB each (cached Outlook, Teams data, temp files). Most users had left the company or never used this PC again after initial training.

Manually deleting profile folders leaves registry entries in ProfileList, causing login issues. Need tool that properly removes both filesystem and registry entries while protecting system accounts.

DelProf2 by Helge Klein - industry standard for profile cleanup. Script downloads it automatically, deletes profiles older than specified days, protects admin accounts.

DelProf2's /ed: flag excludes profiles by name. Set threshold high enough (30 days) to avoid deleting active users. Safe to run on production systems.

Ran with 30-day threshold. Kept 3 profiles (admin, current trainer, IT support). Recovered 176GB in under 2 minutes. Scheduled monthly cleanup via RMM to prevent recurrence. Applied same policy to 8 other shared workstations.

Shared workstations running out of space? We implement automated profile cleanup that keeps machines healthy without manual intervention.
