Hello carlklammer08,
In a GPO under:
User configuration, Administratvie templates, System, User profiles check the policy "Exclude directories in roaming profile"
Maybe this is the right one for your needs.
Best regards

Hello Meinolf,
thanks for your response.
We do not want to allow any files to be safed on folders like theHow can we manage toThe profile will be copied complete, you can not exclude some of

roaming profile, so that they only stay on the local copy of the
profile?
them. But you can configure the max. profile size with GPO so if the
user goes over the limit, he has to delete or copy some of his data,
mostly files on desktop, to another folder or network drive.
Desktop (only .lnk files should be placed here) to keep this one small
and clean. The problem are the folders like AppData or similar (see
under b the Google Earth example). We need to find a way to get rid of
this "temporary" data only used by local applications, once the user
does not need them anymore, because he no longer uses the computer on
which this particular software is installed.
A corrupt app is probably not a severe problem.b) delete these local folders if the user hasn't logged in on thisIf you just delete some folders from the profile some app's maybe run

not correctly anymore.
Say, a user installs Google Earth locally and gets his AppData folder
filled
with lots of megabytes. Now he leaves the company or goes to another
location
where he uses another computer: He has to reinstall Google Earth on
his new
computer and the local data which remained on the old computer has
become
useless.
So we should be able to delete these profile folders without this
causing
major problems.
Or do you mean to delete the complete local user profile?I mean to delete the complete local user profile, if you will (see
context
above).
We have a lot of employee fluctuation here and many people are sharing
one
computer. So we noticed that the local hard drive gets full with lots
of old
and unused local profile copies.
Now we are looking for a clean way (e.g. group policies) to get rid of
them
if they have not been used over a given period of time.
Thanks in advance for any further advice!
