Delete all files in inside folder-CodePudding

I create a PowerShell command that have to remove on my diskstation all files inside folders which contains the word "rendery". Everything would be fine, if the command deleted the files in the folder containing the word "rendery", because the script currently deletes the folder (along with the files that are inside) that contains the word "rendery".

Get-ChildItem C:\Test -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer -eq $true -and $_.Name -match "rendery"} | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

CodePudding user response：

Insert another Get-ChildItem call after Where-Object to resolve only the child items of the target folders:

Get-ChildItem C:\Test -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSIsContainer -and $_.Name -match "rendery"} | Get-ChildItem | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force

Note that $_.PSIsContainer is already a boolean value, so you can shorten $_.PSIsContainer -eq $true to just $_.PSIsContainer
