This task is readily broken into two steps:

1. Discover the newest directory
2. Remove it (and any items it contains)

We can discover the newest directory by enumerating all directories with Get-ChildItem -Directory , then sorting them based on their CreationTime property, and finally selecting only the newest:

$path = "D:\"

$newestDirectory = Get-ChildItem $path -Directory |Sort-Object CreationTime -Descending |Select-Object -First 1

To remove the directory along with any contents without being prompted for confirmation, use Remove-Item -Recurse -Force :

$newestDirectory |Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
