Question

I’m trying to remove files from a server. I have a csv that contains the path in one field and the name of the file in another field. I’d like to concatenate the two fields together so that I delete only the files that are specified (otherwise it would just delete everything in the path).
Here’s the nonworking code with the two field names that I need to reference:

Import-Csv C:\CSVs\TestDelete.csv | Foreach-Object {
    Remove-Item -LiteralPath  $_.Path + $_.Name -WhatIf 
}

Answer 1

This assumes your ‘path’ data has a trailing ‘\’:

Import-Csv C:\CSVs\TestDelete.csv | Foreach-Object{
Remove-Item -LiteralPath ($_.Path + $_.Name) -WhatIf 
}
