    How to properly delete AzureAD profile data from Windows 10 machine


    I want to delete the local data of a retired AzureAD account on a system. Lets name the user in question "Bob".


    - Bob was removed already from AzureAD, however the local data was not deleted automatically (not unexpected)

    - MMC "users" snap-in does not show Bob
    - "Other users" Windows Preference pane does not show Bob (or any other AzureAD user apart from my own)

    - Bob is not logged in

    - I have full Administrator rights

    - Windows does not let me completely remove Bobs user directory by hand

    - The system should stay in AzureAD

    - Windows Version is Windows 10 Pro, updated


    Any ideas?

    :)

    Deleting a AzureAD joined uer from Windows 10 because of downgrade

    Ok i think I found the trick:

    AzureAD joined users can be deleted via:

    • Open a admin powershell and type sysdm.cpl
    • In Advanced tab go to User Profiles and click Settings
    • Here u can now see all the AzureAD joined users as well as local ones.
    • Delete the offending user

    WARNING THIS WILL DELETE ALL THE SELECTED USERS DATA IN HIS HOME FOLDER. IF DATA IS NEEDED BACK IT UP!!!

    How to properly delete AzureAD profile data from Windows 10 machine

    Deleted profile list and subfolders from regedit windows 10

    Why would you hack the registry to delete a profile list?

    Was it your own profile list?

    Can you get into Repair Mode by killing the startup-process three times in a row?
