Script to remove profiles for terminated users from workstations

Question

I am trying to write this script to remove the user profiles of people that have left our company from the workstations. I am doing this to conserve disk space as these people have not been with the company for more than 90 days. Any help you can provide would be great.

$Computers = Get-Content "C:\Temp\computers.txt"
$users = Get-Content "C:\Temp\users.txt"

foreach($computer in $computers){
    foreach($user in $users){ Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {
        param($user)
        $localpath = 'c:\users\' + $user
        Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserProfile | Where-Object {$_.LocalPath -eq $localpath} | 
        write-output "Removing profile $localpath" | Remove-WmiObject}
    }
}

Hi,

You can use $using:user to identify the local variable $user
About Remote Variables

foreach($computer in $computers){  
    foreach($user in $users){ Invoke-Command -ComputerName $computer -ScriptBlock {  
        $localpath = 'c:\users\' + $using:user  
        write-output "Removing profile $localpath"   
        Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_UserProfile | Where-Object {$_.LocalPath -eq $localpath} | Remove-WmiObject     
        }  
    }  
}
