using powershell to remove all files with size smaller than 100gb

Question

I want to use powershell to remove all files with size smaller than 100gb and used

ls | where {$_.Length -lt 100gb} | Remove-Item -Force-Recurse

But got this error

Remove-Item : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'Force-Recurse'.
At line:1 char:48
+ ls | where {$_.Length -lt 100gb} | Remove-Item -Force-Recurse
+                                                ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidArgument: (:) [Remove-Item], ParameterBindingException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NamedParameterNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

What has gone wrong here?

Answer 1

It is just a matter of adding an extra space between parameters. Also make sure you really want to recursively delete the files from all subfolders:

 ls | where {$_.Length -lt 100gb} | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse
