We found out that the Profiel Cleanup feature removes files from the Winows profile after it has written the same files to the zip files.
Which means that one gets the removed files back after the next logon...
This can't be the way things are working ...
What am I missing here?
We have the following in Profile Cleanup:
[DeleteFilesRecursively]
<UserProfile>\*.RPL

Regards,
Henno.

Henno,

That's exactly how Profile Cleanup is meant to work: it is intended to be used for removing settings from local and roaming profiles once you've started managing them with Flex Profiles.

To remove those *.RPL files altogether, you can exclude them from your profile archives by adding something like the following:

[ExcludeFiles]
*.RPL

Hi Arnout,

This worked nicely, thanks!

Another question, if I may,,,:
I want the profile cleanup to clean out the %temp% folder, I looked and found no token for this directory, what would be the best approach?
Does
[DeleteFilesRecursively]
%temp%\*.*

work?

Regards, Henno.

Henno,

You can indeed only use folder tokens, so you would have to specify a token-based path corresponding to the value of %TEMP%.

On Windows XP, that would be something like <UserProfile>\Local Settings\Temp, and on Windows 7 <LocalAppData>\Temp, for example. You could use different cleanup Flex Config files for each OS and use Process Criteria to apply the correct one, or maybe a single Flex Config file with multiple paths would work?
