Large profiles are prone to corruption problems and increase the time it takes terminal server you have exceeded your profile storage space to logon and logoff. Your roaming profile comprises several folders and many files which hold the software settings and configuration appdata roaming options which are personal to you. Temporary file folders like C:\TEMP and the Local Settings folder do not form part of your roaming profile and can be ignored. It is difficult to automate http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/solved-profile-storage-space-exceeded-375791.html the housekeeping of the profile because the contents can vary depending on what and how software is used by the individual user. The most common cause of exceeding the profile space is files which have been dropped onto the Desktop. However other software you use may store files in your profile which use up space. Often it is possibletochange this default save location within the software settings https://support.lincoln.ac.uk/entries/20190383-Dealing-with-profile-storage-space-warnings to avoid this issue. The following applications are known to store large fileswithin the profile area unless otherwise configured: Dropbox iTunes Microsoft Lync Tips on how to reduce the size of your profile when space is exceeded. There is a small utility in the notification area of the taskbar (bottom right of the screen) which can help identify which files are using up your profile space. When your profile is within limits the icon displayed is of a user in front of a monitor. When you are approaching the profile limit the icon changes to a yellow warning sign. When you have exceeded the profile limit the icon changes to a red circle with a cross and you will start to get the pop-up message. If you double-click on this icon it will display a list of the files which are currently in your profile sorted by size. This will help identify any large files which are using up space and might need to be moved or deleted. One file in particular, NTUSER.DAT, will always be present and should not be touched as this contains a lot of your personal settings. The path displayed in the list is tr
What is going on? How can you get rid of this error? Background Your profile is basically a set of customizations stored in files and a chunk of the registry. It gets copied http://css.insttech.washington.edu/~lab/Support/HowtoUse/ExceededProfileSpace.html from your home directory (in the .win_profile.v2 folder) to the C: drive of the machine you are logging into. The location is: "C:\Users\uwnetid" where uwnetid is your actual UW Net Id. For example, my UW Net Id is srondeau, so the actual location of my profile on the workstation I logged into is: "C:\Users\srondeau" During the time you are logged on, you may make changes to default printers and the like, configure preferences and options in applications, create temporary profile storage files while you browse the web, put files on the desktop, put files in Pictures, download files in Downloads, etc. This information is stored in that "profile" space on the C: drive, sometimes in these hidden subfolders of the profile path mentioned above: "AppData\Roaming" "Local Settings\Temp" The contents of the profile are automatically copied back to your home directory's .win_profile.v2 folder when you log off. At least, that the way it is supposed to work. When people store over profile storage space 30 MB of data in their profile, it takes a long time to logon and a long time to logoff. So, we limit the profile space to 30MB, and that is why you see a warning when you try to log off -- it's telling you you wont be able to log off and save your profile. Profiles are important because they "follow you" or "roam" as you move from computer to computer, allowing you to keep the same application environment. But a lot of junk builds up in these "roaming profiles" rather quickly. The Solution To solve this problem: In general, use your home directory to store any files and folders that you want to keep. The Windows home directory is the H: drive. It may also appear in Windows Explorer as: uwnetid$ (\\itfiles3.insttech.washington.edu) (H:) where uwnetid is your UW Net Id. Look at the information that the "profile space exceeded" window is telling you All paths are relative to C:\Users\uwnetid. The usual culprits are (using my UW Net Id as an example): "C:\Users\srondeau\appdata\roaming" "C:\Users\srondeau\Local Settings\Temp" "C:\Users\srondeau\Desktop" Remember that some of these folders are hidden, so you'll have to change your folder options or use this command from the CMD shell to see them: dir /a "C:\Users\srondeau" Delete anything in those folders that you don't need, or move files from your profile to your home directory. Examples of files and folders to delete are setti
