Asked by:
remove-item file going to recycle bin on a different profile

Question
-
I created a test text file (a.txt) using notepad and then ran the following script (d.ps1):
$b = read-host "Input filename to delete"
remove-item "C:\My Documents\$b"
remove-item "E:\My Documents\$b"
remove-item "F:\My Documents\$b"
remove-item "C:\Users\Ryan\Google Drive\My Documents\$b"
When I do so the file shows up in the recycle bin on another profile

Hi,
This is not a normal behavior. I suggest that run the following command for testing in PowerShell Console directly:
Remove-Item -Path 'C:\My Documents\filename' -WhatIf
