Discussion
The RemoveItem cmdlet removes an item from the location you provide. The RemoveItem cmdlet doesn’t work only against the filesystem, however. Any providers that support the concept of items automatically support this cmdlet as well.
The RemoveItem cmdlet lets you specify multiple files through its Path, Include, Exclude, and Filter parameters.
If the item is a container (for example, a directory), PowerShell warns you that your action will also remove anything inside that container. You can provide the –Recurse flag if you want to prevent this message.
