Return count of items deleted using Get-ChildItem with Remove-Item

Question

I am successfully deleting files as expected using the below command; however, I\'d like to get a count of the items deleted.

Answer 1

You can write the FileInfo returned by Get-ChildItem to the output pipeline after deleting them:

Get-ChildItem -Path $path | 
   ForEach-Object { Remove-Item $_; Write-Output $_} | 
   Measure-Object
