    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.
