Hi

Windows 8 creates a roaming profile in the C:\Users directory using xxxxxx_000 subdirectories for each Microsoft account which is created.

Apparently, these subdirectories are only temporary directories that are recreated each time a user logs on to Windows 8 via these accounts.

Is there a way to make sure that these profiles are completely deleted when the user logs off from his Microsoft account?

Thanks

Bye

Are you sure that the above article also applies to Windows 8 with a network without a domain?

Pretty much applies to Windows Vista, 7 & 8.
You can Bing or Google "Delete roaming profiles in Windows 8" and come up with a plethora of suggestions & fixes.
