user profile full

A few days ago I started getting a message on shutdown that my user profile is full and I should delete some entries. How do we manage this? I can find the profile, but do not know what I can delete and what should stay.

Is there any way to increase the size of the profile?

Is there any way to store some of the information in the profile in some other directory?

Is there any way to manage the profile?

Thanks for any help.

 

Normally, profile sizes are set by an administrator on the Group Policies. If you have administrative access, then:
Run--> gpedit.msc

Navigate to:
User Configuration--> Administrative Templates--> System--> User Profiles.
In the right pane, you will see "Limit Profile Size ". Right-click it to change options.

 

Thanks, Abraxas.

I am running a local profile with no policies configured, but it seems that the network user policies affect even local profiles. I adjusted the network policy limiting profile size and that did the trick.

Thanks again.

 

Thanks for posting back. Glad you don't have to delete anything, yet.

The Resultant Set of Policy (Run--> rsop.msc) can be useful in tracking down the net results of all policies set from the network administrator on down. Occasionally, conflicting policies are set on the network and local computers. RSOP is useful in these situations, as well as to see simply what all the policies amount to for the local computer.
