How to set variable in a Powershell command?

Question

In my project I have a piece of code which executes a command:

Remove-Item -path \\D$\folder_name\* -recurse -force 

Is there some way to save the path into a variable?

Something like:

Remove-Item -path ${path} -recurse -force 

Answer 1

You can create a variable like this:

$Path = "\\$\folder_name\*"

And then pass it to the Remove-Item cmdlet:

Remove-Item -Path $Path -Recurse -Force
