Accidently deleted user/profile

*Please help!!!*
As I wanted to change my profile name (name that appears with the house symbol) today (ctrl and touchpad, then "change name"), apparently my profile got completely deleted. All programmes were empty as on the first day (e.g. not one photo in IPhoto, no account or mails, no keychain, no favorites in Safari, etc.), I have lost all settings of my computer. I was able to retrieve some of the data from the "users" file, but all is completely mixed up.
Please, does anbody know about this problem and is there a chance to get my data and settings back?
It is incredible that with one mouseclick and no further asking the system got completey wiped in a split second...that must happen all the time - or am I the only idiot????
*Thanks for any ideas,*
Daniela

Thanks again,
after applying the solutions of the X-Lab I now have all my pics back in IPhoto and Music back in ITunes...phuuu!! Still missing are all mails in Outlook and computer settings...but well, thats a great success anyway! Thanks again for your help!!!! I will tell the technician in the GRAVIS store, who just told me that it is all gone...:-))
Best wishes from Germany,
Daniela

  • What is the best way to automatically delete user profiles after x days of inactivity (school lab environment)?

    I work at a school where we have multiple Mac Carts that have 30 MacBooks per cart. We image the macs every summer to delete the older user profiles but we are looking for way to possible have this done automatically through out the year to help with HDD space. What is the best way to delete user profiles after...say 180 days.... of inactivity automatically? I am open to login hooks, bash scripts, etc. Anything to get the job done. Thanks for any help or advice.

    A search here turned up this post Deleting inactive users
    It appears that the script posted will do as advertised though I would test it out on your systems and under your conditions to see if it does do what you need.
    regards
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - That script looks for users over 21 days. To look for ones over 180 days change the 21 to 180 in the find command.

  • Delete user profiles on multiple computers using ARD

    Hi Everyone,
    I was wondering if there is a way to delete user profiles on all of my remote clients (250+) using ARD.
    Or if anyone knows about a script which can do this and some more.
    This is what I am trying to do:
    I wanted to delete any user profile which exceeds the size of 300 MBs or older than 1 month.
    All of my clients are Intel Macs using newest version of ARD and Leopard.
    Thanks,

    finding folders by size is pretty easy, modification date is a bit harder.
    Here is a script that will list all user folders over 300mb.
    I will leave it to you to test and modify to delete those folders.
    #!/bin/bash
    #list all folders larger than 300MB in /Users
    #will exclude administrator and Shared
    for user in $(ls -1 /Users | grep -v "Shared" | grep -v "administrator")
    do
    homeSize=$(du -sm /Users/$user | cut -d"/" -f1)
    if [[$homeSize -gt 300]]; then
    echo "/Users/$user"
    fi
    done

  • Script to delete user profiles

    I am looking for a script that could be ran either by logout or via ARD . The script needs to delete all user profiles stored on the local mac. except for the admin account and ladmin also an admin account Since all users have an AD account there is no need to keep the users profile. I tried to find a script but no luck I know almost nothing about apple scripts so I am lost. all mac computers are either tiger or panther. All mac clients are managed via a Lepord server also if that helps

  • Script to delete users profile only months old profile with the Registry itself but should leave current profile intact.

    Hi every one.
    first of all sry if this post is repetitive for the profile deletion.
    If you have a correct link please post it below or the script itself.
    Question: as i have a lot of computers with windows 7 (2400 systems) as the operating system on them and as the users keep on changing or shifting place from one PC to another PC and managing the system or the C drive for the consistent system performance
    or freeing space is a challenging task.
    I would like have a Script that would only delete old (No of Months) profile as well as the registry itself  but should keep the current profile instanct the the registry too.
    I did find the below script on some forum that gets the job done but not the right way as it deletes all the profile and excludes the admin,administrator etc as seen in the script but i cannot delete the old profile of a certain time or date period.
    As again sorry if this post looks like mess but help is appreciated

  • Can't add or delete User Profiles in System Preferences

    I'm trying to connect to my school's wireless network, which is now using WPA2 Enterprise encryption and I need to change my User Profile to connect. As far as I can tell, I've done this several times, but my new profile doesn't show up and the old two don't go away (which I have deleted from the 802.1X page).
    What do I need to do to get my preferences to work correctly?

    Try repairing permissions and ACLs on that user.
    The Repair Permissions run from Disk Utility in your Applications doesn't touch anything in any of the user folders, so startup holding command-r keys into your Recovery Volume.
    From the menu bar choose Utilities then select Terminal.
    At the prompt type resetpassword
    Press return
    The Password reset utility will launch (do not reset password)
    Instead, click your Mac hard drive.
    Then from the drop-down select the user account you want to repair. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled ‘Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs’. Click the Reset button there.
    The process takes a couple of minutes. When it’s done, quit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.

  • How To Properly Delete a User Profile on Windows 7 in a Domain environment

    I have not been able to find an answer that matches the issue I'm facing. I had recently setup a laptop for a user and soon after, he was experiencing issues that I thought might be profile related. So, I did what always worked for me on prior versions of
    Windows without any fuss or side affects.
    Logged in under the local Administrator account, I went into: System Properties>User Profiles>Settings and removed the user profile from their. When I do that, I get an error message:
    Profile Error
    Profile not deleted completely. Error - A required privilege is not held by the client
    Ok, no problem I think. I just need to delete the user's profile directory under the users folder right? So I do this and figure when I try to log in again as the user that a new profile will be created. However, this is not what happens exactly. I login
    with the user credentials and it logs in successfully. However, I get a pop saying:
    You have been logged on with a temporary profile
    You cannot access your files and files created in this profile will be deleted when you log off. To fix this, log off and try logging on later.
    Please see the event log for details or contact your system administrator
    So my question is; why did the profile not delete completely after both deleting the user profile under System Properties and after deleting the actual profile directory? What did I miss and what is the proper method of deleting a user profile completely
    without running into these other issues?

    Hi Womprat,
    According to your description, I understand that you want to delete user profile but display an error in Windows 7.
    Please use other user (with administrator privileges) login this computer, then open Properties for Computer--->Advanced system setting--->Settings for User Profiles, then select the profile you want to delete.

  • Terminal Server User Profile - Delete Permissions

    One frequent problem our help desk encounters is corrupted user profiles on the terminal servers.  Today those tickets are escalated to the server team to have the local user and roaming profiles deleted.  That team wishes to have this task moved
    to the desktop / help desk.
    I've built a script to perform this action, but desktop and help desk AD groups do not have sufficient rights on these servers to delete the user profiles.  NTFS permission changes will allow them the ability to delete the roaming profiles, but I don't
    beleive this would be sufficient to delete the local profiles from the terminal servers (properly).
    The script command I'm using to delete the local profiles is:
    takeown /f $LPath.FullName /r /d y
    I attempted using a service account to run the command within the script but I couldn't find a secure way to nest the password.  Can someone point me to the correct permissions needed for a regular user to properly delete a remote user profile?
    Thanks!
    There's no place like 127.0.0.1

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    What kind of permission is assigned to your help desk users?
    Firstly please check that your help desk users can delete the profile via “System Properties--Advanced tab--User Profiles--Settings button”. By deleting user profiles will delete the corresponding registry entries in addition to the folder under C:\Users
    Apart still if you want to check the registry setting, we can verify and delete under below mention path.
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
    Here need to find the respective SID for the users and the delete that SID and then again ask users to log back in which will create a new user profile.
    Else your help desk user can get the permission for running below script through which they can delete the user profile.

  • Deletion of Local User Profiles

    Hi,
     I need to delete Windows 7 local user profiles and have the following requirements:
    1. Only to perform the deletion once
    2. Leave system (defautl, administrator and public) profiles in place
    3. Not to attempt the deletion when a user is logged on
    I initially thought of a script linked to a computer start up gpo, but was wondering whether SCCM 2012 could do this and if so, whether someone could give me a few pointers?
    Thx
    IT Support/Everything

    you should be able to delete user profiles provided that the local system account (the account that executes the script) do have the required permission.

  • Profile Imanges are not getting deleted from Profile Image library

    Hi,
    If I go mysite and edit my profile and set a profile images and save the changes. Image is uploaded to profile Image library in the root of the mysite.
    I Edit my profile again and this time I remove the profile image and save the changes. Image is not getting deleted from the profile Image library.
    as per my understanding it should get deleted. My site clean job is running. user profile is active in AD.
    Thanks

    My first question would be is it a big deal if the picture doesnt get deleted from the libarary?  My understanding is that the profile picture field is a URL link, the first time you add a picture it will provision 3 copies of differing sizes to the
    library.  When you "remove" the picture, it just empties out the picture URL field.  Which is a nice hidden recovery if someone accidently deletes a profile photo they really wanted (Or if your company really locks down picutures so you only get
    a choice of a couple avatars instead of a personal photo).

    and response:
    Since the user photo library follows certain standards OOB:
    http://iedaddy.com/2010/12/sharepoint-2010photo-management-for-social-mysites/
    I would say just create a small script that will periodically read the UPS and make sure there are no photos sitting in the library not associated to an account... here's an example of accessing the User Profiles w/ Powershell:http://iedaddy.com/2010/06/sharepoint-2010-updating-user-profile-properties-with-powershell/
    You would just modify it to delete image files whose name is not associated to an existing NTName in the UPS.

    I have built a new RDS farm on Windows Server 2012 R2 with two Session Hosts and a combined Connect Broker/Web Access server. I had the farm up and running with User Profile Disks and all seemed OK. However, as soon as I installed the App-V 5.0 SP2 RDS
    client on the session hosts, the explorer.exe process started crashing for any user logging in via the Web Access site. The process crashes and restarts every five to ten seconds. It's the same for administrators. If they log in via Web Access explorer.exe
    crashes, but if they RDP directly to one of the session hosts explorer.exe is fine. If I reboot the session hosts, then the first user to log in via Web Access has a stable desktop session (and appears to have a new profile as well). However, if that user
    logs out and back in again, explorer.exe starts crashing again. The only applications I have packaged at the moment are Office 2013 and Firefox.
    I tried disabling User Profile Disks, but this caused a whole bunch of other problems and I eventually lost the ability to log in at all via Web Access (errors about the user profile service). As this is a small pre-production environment I completed scrapped
    all of the servers and rebuilt from scratch. Again, everything appeared fine until I installed the App-V client, then explorer.exe started crashing repeatedly for all users.
    Has anyone come across this issue before? I have tried installing the App-V 5.0 SP2 Hotfix Package 2, but this didn't help. I have read in a few forums that App-V doesn't work very well with User Profile Desks, but I have not heard of this particular issue.
    Similarly, SP2 seems to have a lot of problems, so I am going to try removing App-V RDp Client SP2 and installing SP1. I ahev also deleted User Profile Disks for the test users to recreate their profiles, but this didn't help either.
    Any other suggestions welcome!

    I forgot to include the application event log entry for explorer.exe crashing:

  • User profiles service services failed the logon on windows server 2008 R2

    Please help!
    I have try the steps from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215
    Method 3
    -Delete user folder on c:\users >>> the folder is deleted. no file left.
    -Delete user profile list registry 
    Still could not logon and it shows the error only for that user. Other users or new user are fine. 
    The step that I did not do is RESTART a server. because this is production server.
    Please help if there is any solution to fix this.

    Hi,
    Is the group policy Do not logon users with temporary profiles configured?
    If yes, please disable it, then run gpupdate /force on problematic machine and test if the issue persists.
    Best Regards,
