I tried the following script on a Windows Server 2008 R2 to delete the User Profiles on a Windows 7 client machine.
PS C:\> get-content localcomputer-list.txt | get-userprofile | where {$_.LastUse 'lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)}} | remove-userprofile -whatif
It doesn't work.
How do I resolve this?

I assume you got your snippet from here:
http://www.itninja.com/blog/view/manage-purge-local-windows-user-profiles
You need to load the get-userprofile modules.
Also, buddy uses ' to denote - in his code. So:
get-content mydesktops.txt | get-userprofile | where {$_.LastUse -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)} | remove-userprofile
Script doesn't work for me if I try to use it remotely as indicated in his post.
Ergo this works:
get-userprofile | where {$_.LastUse -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-90)} | remove-userprofile

What are the results after running this? Are you getting any errors? Where does it fail to run? – paradd0x – 2015-07-21T18:59:55.587

after ruuning it. i get
>>.when i run this command let Get-userporfile manully , i get the error cmdlet is not recozinized – kunal – 2015-07-21T19:17:18.990
If you get
>>that is new line in Powershell console, it means that you didn't close a string somewhere or there is a pipe|that has nothing on the right side (console thinks that there's something more to add). Btw. it should be-ltnot'ltand you have double bracket afterAddDays(-90). My guess it's'ltthat causes it. – mwilczynski – 2015-07-21T23:32:37.440I use DelProf2 for this kind of task, just deleting the files usually doesn't work.
