This is version 2 to below Powershell script to query parent directory containing user home folders or profiles.

Especially helpful for housekeeping deprecated RDS & Citrix profiles, maximising disk space on your profile file server.

Improvements

• Added error handling with try/catch.
• Added input for directory path.
• Added color for deprecated profiles.
• Removed unnecessary reporting of valid profiles.

$moduleName = Get-Module -List ActiveDirectory
if(!$moduleName)

 exit
}

$folders = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter UNC path containing profiles. (Eg. \\ServerName\D$\CitrixProfiles)"
$folders = gci $folders
#This is the root path containing home folders.

foreach ($folder in $folders)
 {
 Try
 {

$username1 = $null
 $username1 = (get-aduser $folder.name).Name
 if ($username1 -ne $null)

 #Write-Host "$folder This user exists, so don't delete the home folder"
 
 }
 
 
 }#End Try

 Write-Host "THIS PERSON NO LONGER EXISTS: $folder" -foregroundcolor "magenta"
 #Remove-Item $folder.fullname -Force -Recurse
 #Un-Comment above line if you wish to delete profiles following confirmation of non-existence.
