Delete Thumbs.db files using Powershell

Powershell is awesome. It’s both powerful and easy to read. Here is an example that will delete all thumbnail caches from the current directory and its subdirectories:

Get-ChildItem -Include Thumbs.db -Recurse -Force | Remove-Item -Force

For the paranoid, add the -WhatIf switch at the end of the line to simulate:

Get-ChildItem -Include Thumbs.db -Recurse -Force | Remove-Item -Force -WhatIf
