REMProf : Command-line application that deletes local user profiles which are not currently used, featuring options for filters and exclusions
REMProf is a command-line utility designed to remove local user profiles that are not currently used by the system. It can be manually activated from a console window or automatically by setting it as a scheduled task. The tool contains several useful switches to customize preferences.
The advantages of console apps
While most users resort to graphical interfaces to better understand the purpose and options of a software application, some of them still prefer console programs because they only need to write a few lines to get the job done quickly and without complicating themselves with graphical elements.What's more, most command-line utilities (like this one) do not require installation, so they can be saved to any part of the disk or external drives to be treated as portable apps.
Get a list of all user profiles
REMProf is capable of displaying a list of all user profiles which are not currently in use. It supplies you with several filters for deletion. For example, you can delete all profiles based on the user name or just the ones which do not have a user name association (including abandoned profile folders).
Exclude any names from deletion
It is also possible to eliminate profiles by taking into account their age, as well as to exclude specific users (one or several) by writing their names. If there are no parameters established, REMProf deletes all unused profiles by default.
Evaluation and conclusion
No error dialogs were shown in our tests, and the software utility did not hang or crash. It leaves a small footprint on system resources and eliminates user profiles rapidly and without any issues. All in all, REMProf serves its purpose and should meet the requirements of users preferring console apps to graphical interfaces.
