Quick Guide: How to Use Powershell to Delete Files

Welcome to the world of Powershell where file deletion is as easy as pie! You can bid those file deletion blues goodbye as we guide you on a journey through Powershell’s file and folder removal capabilities.

At the heart of deleting files using Powershell lies the `Remove-Item` command. This nifty command is your express ticket to tidying up your workspace. Entering `Remove-Item -Path “Path\To\Your\File.txt”` into Powershell will send your file into oblivion.

Perhaps you’re feeling more adventurous and want to remove a whole folder? Powershell’s got you covered! Use `Remove-Item -Path “Path\To\Your\Folder” -Recurse -Force` and watch as the selected folder and its content vanish before your very eyes. Remember, the `-Recurse` parameter is there to ensure all subfolders are included in the deletion, while `-Force` makes sure Powershell doesn’t stop and ask you about every file it’s about to delete.

But wait! What if you want to delete multiple files of a specific type? Powershell has an answer for that too! With the command `Remove-Item -Path “Path\To\Your\Directory\*” -Include *.txt`, all text files in your chosen directory will disappear, leaving only non-text files behind.

Remember, Powershell is a powerful tool and with great power comes great responsibility. Always double-check your commands before hitting that enter key.
