I'm facing the following problem:

that is Get-ChildItem shows the directory but Remove-Item says that it does not exist !!

I yet try chkdsk, file explorer, trying to rename it,... but I just can't remove that directory

please help.

Gci . -dir|%{Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$($_.FullName)"}

gives:

Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'D:\data\inpibug\ustocks ' because it does not exist.
At line:1 char:14
+ Gci . -dir|%{Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$($_.FullName)"}
+              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (D:\data\inpibug\ustocks :String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

Please don't post pictures of text but the text itself. The error msg shows a trailing space or other char in the quoted folder name. Try Gci . -dir|%{Remove-Item -LiteralPath "$($_.FullName)"} – LotPings Mar 28 '19 at 19:39
yes there is a trailing space – tschmit007 Mar 28 '19 at 19:48
