Need a script to delete user profile directories from PC

[brian6655]

I'm unsure if this is the right place but...

I need to be able to periodically clean out the user profiles on a presentation PC in a conference room. Therefore I need a script which will remove directories recursively. However I don't know the name of the directories, except for a prefix. I know that windows rd /s /q won't do it, because it won't allow the use of wildcards (which is the obvious way to do it but being Micro$oft of course... ).

Therefore, is there someone who could supply me with a command that will remove directories and all the subdirectories under them, in windows? Pretty please?

Have a look at the User Profile Deletion Utility.

Thanks. Seen that. Tried it. I refuses to work. However I found a ready written script that does the job (and a lot more to be thorough) at:
