Powershell delete files only from directory

Solution 1:

Try this:

Get-ChildItem *.* -recurse | Where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }

Found it here: https://superuser.com/questions/150748/have-powershell-get-childitem-return-files-only

To delete all files in the specified directory only (ignoring sub-dirs):

Remove-Item "D:\MyTemp\*.*" | Where { ! $_.PSIsContainer }

Solution 2:

The accepted answer didn't work for me, instead I needed:

Get-Childitem -File | Foreach-Object {Remove-Item $_.FullName}

To include folders as well as files, add -Recurse:

Get-Childitem -File -Recurse | Foreach-Object {Remove-Item $_.FullName}

Solution 3:

You were nearly there, you just needed:

Remove-Item "D:\MyTemp\*.*"
