## Define the extensions
$extensions = “*.cs”,”*.xsx”,”*.xsd”, “*.resx”,”*.rpt”,”*.csproj”,”*.user”,”*.projdata”,
“*.sln”,”*.vb”,”*.scc”,”*.pdb”,”*.obj”,”*.vssscc”,”*.vbproj”,”*.suo”

## Show what would happen if they actually did the operation (doesn’t actually delete)
dir * -include $extensions -rec | remove-item -whatif

## Actually delete. Has a typo on purpose
dir * -include $extensions -rec | remove/item

## Actually delete, and display verbose information. Has a typo on purpose
dir * -include $extensions -rec | remove/item -Verbose

## Actually delete, even when files have been made ReadOnly. Has a typo on purpose
dir * -include $extensions -rec | remove/item -force

The -WhatIf and -Verbose parameters (just two of our “common parameters”) are two features that make life as an admin so much easier. There are others — you should check them out!
