I have regular Jobs to clean up old User Windows-Profile directories on a central NAS.
Last time I had Directories containing double square Brackets in the path (Import from Macromedia or so). This looks like:
\server.ad.local\HOME1\Username\System\Anwendungsdaten\Macromedia\FlashPlayer\SharedObjects\G5EUZBX2\www.daserste.de\[[IMPORT]]\players.edgesuite.net\flash\plugins\osmf\advanced-streaming-plugin\v3.4\osmf2.0\AkamaiAdvancedStreamingPlugin.swf\HDCore.sol
As this Job should run automatically with Powershell I tired various things:
Tried to replace the brackets an rename the folder - no success
Tried LiteralPath for Remove-Item - no success
Tried to Deleted with Scripting.FileSystemObject - no success
I always get the following error Message:
The Element ... cannot be removed: A part of the Path "HDCore.sol" cannot be found.
Are there any ideas?
Tried to rename the Folder, tried remove-item with -LiteralPath, tried to use FileSystemObject.
All of the actions gave the same result: Error
Just to complete: here are the functions I used last:
Function RemoveChar
{
Param ($Path)
$Pattern = '#|&|%|\[{1,}|\]{1,}|\^|\s|\.{2,}'
if ($Path -imatch $Pattern){
Rename-Item -Path $Path -NewName ($Path -replace $Pattern,'') -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
return ($Path -replace $Pattern,'')
} else {
return $Path
}
}
Function Truncate
{
Param ($Path)
$total_path_length_threshold = 248 # maximal erlaubte Zeichenzahl (248 für Verzeichnisse, 260 für Dateien)
$characters_to_truncate = 60 # Anzahl der zeichen, um die der name zu kürzen ist. Ein eindeutiger Index wird angehangen
$virtual_drive = "v:" # Für temp. Prozessing muss das Format "v:" haben
$collection = cmd /c dir $Path /s /b |? {$_.length -gt $total_path_length_threshold }
$count_paths = ($collection | measure).count - 1
foreach ($pathlong in $collection) {
$parent_path = Split-path -path $pathlong
subst $virtual_drive $parent_path
$leaf = split-path -leaf $pathlong
$short_virtual_path = join-path $virtual_drive $leaf
$item = Get-Item -LiteralPath $short_virtual_path
if (Test-Path -LiteralPath $item) {
$filename = $item.name
$filename_extension = $item.Extension
$basename = $item.BaseName
$basename_length = $basename.length
$new_index = "X" + $counter + "X"
$adjusted_characters_to_truncate = $characters_to_truncate + $new_index.length
if ( $basename_length -gt $adjusted_characters_to_truncate ) {
$length_to_use = $basename_length - $adjusted_characters_to_truncate
$new_filename = $basename.substring(0, $length_to_use ) + $new_index + $filename_extension
$new_path = $parent_path + $new_filename
$Path = $new_path
Rename-Item -LiteralPath $short_virtual_path -NewName $new_filename
}
}
subst v: /d
}
return $Path
}
Function removeRecursive
{
param([String] $Path)
$fso = new-object -com "Scripting.FileSystemObject"
function proc {
param($folder)
$folder.Files | foreach-object {
RemoveChar $_
}
$folder.Files | foreach-object {
$short = $fso.GetFile($_.FullName).ShortPath
LogWrite "$FullDate : Processing: $short"
$fso.DeleteFile($short,$true)
}
$folder.SubFolders | foreach-object {
proc $_
}
}
proc $fso.GetFolder($Path)
}
The function I call from main code is removeRecursive. And yes I tried Remove-Item -LiteralPath SomePath -Recursive -Force too but no success as well.
