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 d:\user\%userprofile%\documents\*
del /q /f /s d:\user\%userprofile%\Videos\*

del /q /f /s d:\user\%userprofile%\Music\*
del /q /f /s d:\user\%userprofile%\Desktop\*
del /q /f /s d:\user\%userprofile%\Downloads\*
