How to Properly Remove a AzureAD User Profile from a Windows computer with CMD or PowerShell?

Get-LocalUser

Remove-LocalUser -Name "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"

Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\

Hello! My name is Cristiano. I'm an Independent Advisor. I'm glad to help you.

To remove the user profile data, you can use the `Remove-LocalUser` cmdlet along with the UPN (User Principal Name) of the user. Here is an example:

1. Open PowerShell as an administrator.
2. Type the following command to list all local user accounts:

Get-LocalUser

3. Find the account you want to remove and make note of the account name.
4. Type the following command to remove the account:

Remove-LocalUser -Name "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"

Make sure to replace "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" with the UPN of the AzureAD user that you want to remove.

After removing the account with `Remove-LocalUser`, run the following command to remove the profile folder:

Remove-Item -Path C:\Users\

Replace `

That's great if you are aware of the local AzureAD users on the PC. Is there a way to list any AzureAD profiles that are present?

In my opinion this is a terrible answer and doesn't address Robert's question. I'm seeking an answer to the same question.

The question concerns removing an AzureAD user profile which by definition is not a local user. When I use "Get-localuser" none of the AzureAD profiles are displayed.

The Windows device in question is Azure AD joined and numerous users have logged in to the device and are utilizing disk space but no longer use the device. The goal is to remove AzureAD profile and any disk space associated with the user, but not prevent the user from logging in again in the future and creating a new profile.

Is there a simple way to accomplish this from powershell?

P.S. I queried ChatAI to answer this question and it responded with

Remove-AzureADUser -objectId "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***"

which goes to show you can't always trust AI as that removes the user from AzureAD not their profile from local device!

I did find that you can accomplish the task manually by entering

"Advance System Settings" in Windows search

Click on Advanced | User Profiles | Settings

From there you can properly delete any AzureAD profiles on the local device.

How to do that from powershell remains the outstanding question.

for how to set user profiles to automatically expire in X days of inactivity which is perhaps an even better answer.

I totally agree with you. The answer is TOTALLY inadequate.
