Delete File In Cmd Access Denied

Hi sba923,Sorry for the late reply. When 'Remove-Item -Force' fails, 'Remove-Item' works, Example 3: Delete hidden, read-only filesPS C: Remove-Item -Path C:Testhidden-RO-file.txt -ForceThis command deletes a file that is both hidden and read-only.It uses the Path parameter to specify the file. It uses the Force parameter to delete it.Without Force, you cannot delete read-only or hidden files.Best regards,AndyPlease remember to mark the replies as answers if they help.If you have feedback for TechNet Subscriber Support, contact.

PS get-childitem 'pnjnaspijeedombackupfoobackup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz'get-childitem: Cannot find path 'pnjnaspijeedombackupfoobackup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz' because it does notexist.At line:1 char:1+ get-childitem 'pnjnaspijeedombackupfoobackup-1.212.0-2015-12-1.+ + CategoryInfo: ObjectNotFound: (pnjnaspijee.18-02h00.tar.gz:String) Get-ChildItem, ItemNotFoundException+ FullyQualifiedErrorId: PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.GetChildItemCommand. I have the same problem:Remove-Item -Force -LiteralPath '.test.bak' fails with error 'Cannot remove item E.test.bak: Access to the path is denied.And Remove-Item -LiteralPath '.test.bak' succeeds without issues.Note that before this happens,1) I have fetched this file from backup systems as an administrator.2) Although I just created the file, I don't have permissions to the file. In this example I have added permissions to the file with acl.SetAccessRule command.Also what works is that I disable permission inheritance to the file and add it back again. I haven't tested if I have the same issue with this case, probably not!So conclusion is that Force option verifies permissions sometimes too well and fails where without that option the same command succeeds.
