Delete Files
Deletes files on a server.
Script usage:
Delete-Files( Include: <@(text)>, [Exclude: <@(text)>], [Directory: <text>], [Verbose: <true/false>] );
This operation may be prefixed with Files::
, although this is a built-in namespace and isn't really necessary.
Arguments:
Name | Format | Script Usage | Usage Notes |
---|---|---|---|
☆ Include (default) | @(text) | Include | See KB#1119 to learn more about masking syntax. This argument is required. |
Exclude | @(text) | Exclude | See KB#1119 to learn more about masking syntax. |
Directory | text | Directory | |
Verbose | true/false | Verbose |
Note: This operation will delete files one-by-one. To clear large directories, a PowerShell script may be more performant.
Example:
# delete all .config files in the working directory except web.config Delete-Files( Include: *.config, Exlude: web.config );
