    Hello,

    Im running the following script to delete files and folders in a directory and its subdirectories and keep the folder structure.
    Right now everything works fine but hidden folders are not deleted ($RECYCLE.BIN)

    This is the script: Get-ChildItem -Path D:\path\to\data -Include * -File -Recurse | foreach { $_.Delete()}

    So all the data, from the subfolders in D:\path\to\data are deleted except the hidden one.
    Can someone help?

    Thanks,

    LEVD

    Try adding "-Force" to the Get-ChildItem.
