Delete user profile using Powershell

Question

I am wondering how I can delete user profile by using Powershell? I know the command of Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile which will give me the whole users on the computer. I have 2 variables of $computername and $username. So I wants to use the above command to delete on a remote computer (which is $computername) the profile of $username. How I can do it? Thanks.

Answer 1

Get-WMIObject can retrieve objects from remote computers with no problem, and not only does the Win32_UserProfile class have a (poorly documented) delete() method, a Win32_UserProfile object can be passed to Remove-WMIObject. This will, to all appearances, properly clean up the registry and files, and does in fact work on remote computers.
