Apparently some people are looking for a way to remove local user profiles from computers remotely. Of course Powershell is the perfect tool for that. Here is an initial script for just that. Feel free to use and modify :-)

try
{
$Sid = Get-ADUser $SamAccountName | select -expand sid | select -expand value
}
Catch
{
Write-Warning "$SamAccountName not found in AD"
Break
}
if (Test-Connection $computer -Count 1 -Quiet)
{
$Profile = Get-WmiObject Win32_UserProfile -ComputerName $Computer | where {$_.SID -eq $Sid}
if ($Profile)
{
Try
{
Write-Verbose "Removing $SamAccountName from $Computer"
$Profile.delete()
}
catch
{
Write-Warning "The Profile of $SamAccountName is locked. Please restart $Computer and try again."
}
}
else
{
Write-Warning "$SamAccountName not found on $Computer"
}
}
else {Write-Warning "$Computer is not online"}
}
