DELETE USERS FILES FROM USER PROFILE BY GPO
hello ,
in my organization i need to delete all user's profiles files.
i tried to it by gpo with the cmd script::del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%\documents\*.*
del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%\Videos\*.*
del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%Pictures\*.*
del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%\Music\*.*
del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%\Desktop\*.*
del /f d:\user\%USERNAME%\Downloads\*.*
unfortunatly its not working.
do you have another way to do so ?
thanks.

eyalmargani You need to specify /q along with /f. I have tested the following and it works fine. Make sure your paths are correct, and the GPO is under User Configuration.
del /q /f /s %userprofile%\downloads\*

For my test no, the user was not an admin.
