Remove directories / sub-directories when path could be any of 50 using PowerShell 5 or >.

Remove livebolivar.com and it's sub-directories from any of 50 folders named mmddyy

"%USERPROFILE%\desktop\websites\"any of 50 folders named mmddyy"\livebolivar.com"

Remove %USERPROFILE%\desktop\websites\011920\livebolivar.com

Finds too much:

gci %USERPROFILE%\desktop\websites -recurse | Where-Object {($_.PSIsContainer)} | Foreach { if ( $_.Name -eq "livebolivar.com") {remove-item $_.fullname -confirm}} 

Did not work:

gci -exclude favorites %USERPROFILE%\desktop\websites -recurse | Where-Object {($_.PSIsContainer)} | Foreach { if ( $_.Name -eq "livebolivar.com") {remove-item $_.fullname -confirm}} 

This deleted the subfolders:

$path= @("%USERPROFILE%\desktop\websites\*\livebolivar.com")
$folders= gci -path $path -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PsIsContainer} |Group-Object {$_.FullName.Split('_')[0] }
ForEach($folder in $folders){
$folder.Group | % { Remove-Item $_.fullname -recurse -force}} 

Make test folders:

pushd %USERPROFILE%\Desktop
foreach($i in -10..-1){
$z=(Get-Date).AddDays($i).tostring("MMddyy")
ni -itemtype directory $z\livebolivar.com\New Folder > $null}
ni -itemtype file $z\livebolivar.com\New Folder\test.txt > $null}
popd 
exit

Recursively remove directory with wildcard.

gci $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\websites\*\livebolivar.com | % {ri $_.fullname -recurse -force -whatif}

% Performs an operation against each item in a collection of input objects.

$_ represents the current item from the pipe.

.fullname is path\name.ext

No sub-directories? -force is not needed

gci $env:USERPROFILE\desktop\websites\*\livebolivar.com | % {ri $_.fullname -recurse -whatif}
