    The laptop was acting up and I decided to just start from scratch-- what I thought was an old fashioned factory reset. The instructions on the reset actually said that the user profiles would be deleted and you would be having to start a new profile from scratch. IT LITERALLY SAID THAT! Well, it doesn't. I just tried to go in through safe mode because everytime I put in the password to log in it tells me the User profile has been deleted and then sends me back to log in with that user profile. ??? I did nothing fancy. Step 1: search factory reset. Step 2: Chose reset system option windows

    script to delete users profile

    A few more questions that may be asked...

    1. Are these domain user profiles on the PC or local users?
    2. Do you need logging of success/failure/names of deleted profiles, etc. and, if so, seperate logs or a combined one?
    3. What filepath to use for any log(s)?

    Delete User Profile in Windows 10


    I'm the first to reply! This tutorial could be a useful fix for the problem of corrupted user profiles.

    I have a challenging query. I upgraded my desktop PC to the AU yesterday and can't configure OneDrive in my main user account - see OneDrive Problem After Anniversary Upgrade. I strongly suspect the problem may be due to a problem with the user profile since I can configure OneDrive in all other accounts.

    I'm wondering if I can use the method in this tutorial to reset the profile? What will I need to configure? I don't understand Step 2 of Option 2 above. Doesn't doing that delete all the user data files and program configuration data in Appdata?

    I had another problem with a corrupted default user profile after the AU and had to copy a working default user profile - see https://www.tenforums.com/user-accou...r-profile.html Am I safe to reset the user profile using the default user profile I copied from my laptop or should I restore the default user profile using another method before using the reset method in this tutorial?
