How does Storage Sense (1903+)  work on computers with multiple user profiles? Does it run "as SYSTEM" and clean up inside user profiles of users who are not currently logged on, or does it only work on the data of the currently logged on user?  I am particularly concerned with how it handles OneDrive Files on Demand. We might have 100-300 profiles on a given machine, and to ensure we have enough disk space we need to ensure that FoD get dehydrated very aggressively, even if a user is not logged on.

 

Thanks
