How To Delete Folder with Powershell?

How can I recursively delete folder with a specific name with PowerShell?

• I can delete files with specific extensions in multiple folders with this: Get-childitem * -include *.scc -recurse | remove-item But I also need to delete folders with a specific name - in particular those that subversion creates (".svn" or "_svn") when you pull down files from a subversion repo.

  This http://www.tigraine.at/2009/11/24/removing-svn-folders-with-powershell/ should do it: get-childitem -Include .svn -Recurse -force | Remove-Item -Force —Recurse http://www.vistax64.com/powershell/80403-pecursive-delete-implementation-powershell.html version: $fso = New-Object -com "Scripting.FileSystemObject" $folder = $fso.GetFolder("C:\Test\") foreach ($subfolder in $folder.SubFolders) { If ($subfolder.Name -like "*.svn") { remove-item $subfolder.Path -Verbose } }
