Save as a named .ps1, mine is RemoveFolderRecursive.ps1, once this is setup with the source and string name, it will remove the folder named and all under it, so a good idea to test first and know the power of it, if across a share, it removes things quite nicely

$source="\\servername\c$\parentfolder" #location of directory to search

$strings=@("foldernameandallunderittoremove")


cd ($source); get-childitem -Include ($strings) -Recurse -force | Remove-Item -Force –Recurse
