Remove all NTFS Permissions from Folder

Hello

I would like remove NTFS permission form folder

My folder have the standard

Administrators
Creator owner
System
Users (Host\Users)

How delete all items and how delete the item Users?

My experiment:

$directory = "c:\data"
$acl = get-acl $directory
$account = new-object system.security.principal.ntaccount("Users")
$acl.purgeaccessrules($account)
set-acl -aclobject $acl -path $directory

this is missing...

How you have a idea?

thanks
Gregor

Removing domain groups works fine however local groups does not get effected.
I found that if you remove the "inherit from parent" flag (gui) then the
code runs fine and the group is removed.

How about using the built-in cacls.exe utility to do the same for
top_of_folder and all sub-folders:

cacls top_of_folder /c /t /e /r users

Not strictly a POSH solution but can be called within a .ps1 script or run
from POSH console.

HTH.
