PowerShell Script only works from PowerShell Console and not from ISE - powershell

Question

I am very very new to PowerShell. I am trying to delete a set of Test Results files in folders through PowerShell. When I run the code through PowerShell console, it works. The same code doesn't work through ISE.
Below is the code :
Set-Location -Path "Path";
$testResultsFolder = Get-ChildItem -Include *TestResults -Recurse | ?{ $_.PSIsContainer } | Select-Object FullName;
$date = Get-Date;
$limit = 30;
foreach($testResult in $testResultsFolder)
{
$resultsPath = Get-Item $testResult.FullName;
Get-ChildItem -Path $resultsPath -Recurse -Force | Where-Object { -not $_.PSIsContainer -and $date.Subtract($_.LastWriteTime).Days -gt $limit } | Remove-Item -Force;
}
This works fine from PowerShell console but not from ISE. The ISE does not show any error. It says 'Completed'. Can somebody throw some light on what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

Try this:
Delete.ps1
#Requires -Version 3
$Path = 'C:\Temp'
$Cleanup = (Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Include '*TestResults' -Recurse -Directory).FullName
ForEach ($Folder in $Cleanup)
{
Get-ChildItem -Path $Folder -File -Recurse -Force |
Where-Object { $PSItem.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-30) } |
Remove-Item -Force
}
Using Set-Location can result in inconsistent results, especially if you're using dynamic variables. I'd suggest using a variable target so you're getting consistent results.
