Powershell moving and deleting

[ziogref]

So below is a powershell script I wrote (first time using Powershell) to delete files, but everytime i run it it fails to delete, nothing gets deleted, all i get is the same error message for every single file.

cd C:\test\dest
Get-ChildItem -include *sample*,*.rar*,*.r00*,*r01*,*.r02*,*.r03*,*.r04*,*.r05*,*.r06*,*.r07*,*.r08*,*.r09*,*.r10*,*.r11*,*.r12*,*.r13*,*.r14*,*.r15*,*.r16*,*.r17*,*.r18*,*.r19*,*.r20*,*.r21*,*.r22*,*.r23*,*.r24*,*.r25*,*.r26*,*.r27*,*.r28*,*.r29*,*.r30*,*.r31*,*.r32*,*.r33*,*.r34*,*.r35*,*.r36*,*.r37*,*.r38*,*.r39*,*.r40*,*.r41*,*.r42*,*.r43*,*.r44*,*.r45*,*.r46*,*.r47*,*.r48*,*.r49*,*.r50*,*.r51*,*.r52*,*.r53*,*.r54*,*.r55*,*.r56*,*.r57*,*.r58*,*.r59*,*.r60*,*.r61*,*.r62*,*.r63*,*.r64*,*.r65*,*.r66*,*.r67*,*.r68*,*.r69*,*.r70*,*.r71*,*.r72*,*.r73*,*.r74*,*.r75*,*.r76*,*.r77*,*.r78*,*.r79*,*.r80*,*.r81*,*.r82*,*.r83*,*.r84*,*.r85*,*.r86*,*.r87*,*.r88*,*.r89*,*.r90*,*.r91*,*.r92*,*.r93*,*.r94*,*.r95*,*.r96*,*.r97*,*.r98*,*.r99* -recurse | foreach ($_) {Remove-Item $_.FullName}
#delete's unwated files

it runs but gives the following error message on all the files

Where are the files located and is Powershell being run as admin?

[MeshFile]

Googled and found:

1. add '-force' switch.
2. Enable running unsigned scripts by entering: set-executionpolicy remotesigned OR
3. Run the command as administrator if you only need to run that script once

In that script above it does say C drive, but I change the directory to G:\scripttemp then run it (so ignore the C drive stuff) The only user on the server is my self, and yes im running Powershell as Administrator

Added the force switch still failed, I have enabled set-executionpolicy remotesigned also im copying the command into powershell so its not running from a powershell file.

This is probably a different issue but it appears you are missing a "." at *r01*

try adding the . at *r01* not that it should make a difference.

this is what im getting, also I check the permissions on the file, it is mine and i have full access

It runs on my windows 8.1 and windows 2008 server just fine.

 

What version of Windows server and what changes you've made from the vanilla install?

 

Why not just pipe the output of Get-ChildItem to Remove-Item so it becomes this?

Get-ChildItem * -include *.ini -recurse | Remove-Item
