  2. Recursively Delete File Types From A Named Folder Only

    PowerShell:

    Code:
    [b]$Exts  = @( '*.psr', '*.zip' )[/b][b]Get-ChildItem '*\Target-Name' -Directory -Recurese | ForeEach{[/b][b]   $Folder = $_.FullName[/b][b]   $Path   = $Exts | ForEach{ Join-Path $Folder $_ }[/b][b]   Get-ChildItem $Path -File -Recurse | Remove-Item[/b][b]}[/b]

    Explorer support for zip files with long file paths

    I suggest you try Long path tool is the very good program for easily delete, copy & rename long path files, error, unlock solution.
