This policy setting allows an administrator to automatically delete user profiles on system restart that have not been used within a specified number of days after a specific user profile was accessed. You may need to do this if you are working in an environment where there are many users who come, create a user profile, use the system for a while and go away – like say an academic institution or a workplace – and you don’t want unused user-profiles clogging your system.
