Vista - delete temp dlls via powershell

Why does this fail on DLL's??

remove-item -path "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary
ASP.NET Files\*" -recurse -force

I'm logged on as an administrator, and a similar cmd.exe command works fine.

Thanks,

John

What sort of error do you get? Is it possible that one of the DLLs was still
in use when you tried using PoSH and not in use when you tried it from
cmd.exe.
