I have the following script:
try {Invoke-Command-Computer $Server -ScriptBlock{
param ($dir, $name)Get-ChildItem-Path $dir |Where{$_.Name-Match"$name"}|Remove-Item-confirm:$false -Recurse-Verbose}-ArgumentList $Directory, $DBWrite-Host"`r`nsuccessfull! "-foregroundcolor yellow -backgroundcolor black}
catch {
write-host "`r`nFAILED!"-foregroundcolor red -backgroundcolor blackWrite-Host"$($error[0])`r`n"-foregroundcolor magenta -backgroundcolor black}
if no files exist to delete...it currently still says "successful" as output...can i refine this to say "there
was no files to delete" else "successfully deleted x number of files"
?
also, the recurse
on
verbose is needed because otherwise i am forced to manually confirm even with confirm parameter. I think its because there are many sub items inside the target folder(s) i am looking to delete...
however, i get a TON of verbose messages for every single one of those items saying
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove Directory" on target \name1\subitem
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove Directory" on target \name1\subitem1
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove Directory" on target \name1\subitem2
can i make it so that it just prints verbose on a folder level instead for every single item?
VERBOSE: Performing the operation "Remove Directory" on target \name1
