I suppose this has been mentioned before, but the answers are quite inconsistent and might not totally address what I am looking for.
I have a user profile created, and I want to delete all types of files, ie. desktop, all documents and everything else.
What is the best and easiest way to go about this? I have admin access. The user accounts are not admin.
Thanks.

Normally if a user is created,It would create folder under the users directory in the C drive so to delete the user from another user
Please follow the below steps
(i) Login into the user that has admin access
(ii) Now open the C:/Users/user_name and then you can find the various folder create for that like download/desktop so you can delete the folder which you need.

If you want to delete only the user's folder (e.g. C:\Users\moses) without deleting the account, you better use delprof2.
There are some reg keys that would prevent the user to log on if he has no folder, and delprof2 delete those keys along with the folder.

I see folders like My Documents, My Music, Desktop... can I just delete the entire folder? There wont be any problems right? – user3401874 – 2014-11-13T10:33:05.247
@vemutech my question above. – user3401874 – 2014-11-13T10:33:28.123
And what if the user saves files in C:/ and not in My Documents. – user3401874 – 2014-11-13T10:41:15.360
Yes there wont be any problem.
You can delete various folder under the location C:/Users/user_name but we can'the delete the entire user_name folder since it contain application data folder which is an hidden folder and would store the cache location and default application information. – vembutech – 2014-11-13T14:07:30.380
If the other user saves the files in C:/ then current user cant be able to find that which user create the file. – vembutech – 2014-11-13T14:10:32.060
