Merging powershell scripts

Question

I am configuring Jenkins, and when the check out is performed, I need 2 folders to be deleted. I have created the script, which deletes all the bin folder. However, I want to delete all obj folder too.

Get-ChildItem -path C:\testFolderCheck 'obj' -Recurse -force |
Remove-Item -force -Recurse 
Get-ChildItem -path C:\testFolderCheck 'bin' -Recurse -force | 
Remove-Item -force -Recurse

When I am executing this scripts, only the bin folder is getting deleted. Is there any way of executing both scripts in one run?

You can pass an array of paths to the Get-ChildItem cmdlet :

Get-ChildItem [[-Path] <String[]> ] [[-Filter] <String> ] [-Exclude <String[]> ] [-Force] [-Include <String[]> ] [-Name] [-Recurse] [-UseTransaction] [ <CommonParameters>]

So try this:

Get-ChildItem -path 'C:\testFolderCheck\obj', 'C:\testFolderCheck\bin' -Recurse -force |
    Remove-Item -force -Recurse

function clean
{
    Get-ChildItem -path C:\testFolderCheck 'obj' -Recurse -force | Remove-Item -force -Recurse 
    Get-ChildItem -path C:\testFolderCheck 'bin' -Recurse -force | Remove-Item -force -Recurse
}

clean

One possibility to excute the script in one run is to define a function. Another possibility is to use the invoke-command with computername and your script as scriptblock (maybe the better way, if you do remoting).

Don´t be to hard -it´s my first post on stackoverflow :-)
