Delbyown is a free command line utility for Windows that allows you to delete, copy or just list the files owned by a certain user account. The most common usage, probably, is the deletion of a certain user's files who is no longer with the company. The tool can also remove the folders created by the user.

If you just enter the command name without any parameters, delbyown displays its self-explanatory options:

Usage: delbyown -c [path] -r -o [owner] -e [exclude path] file
delbyown -d -r -o [owner] -e [exclude path] file
delbyown -t -r -o [owner] -e [exclude path] file
-c Copy Files to [destination path.]
-d Delete Files.
-t Test/Display files matching owner.
-e Exclude [Directory].
-o Owner [Account/Group Name].
Accepts not operator e.g. !Administrators
-r Recursive.
