Hi All,

This does not work (uses `--Force`):

PowerShell.exe Remove-Item 
'\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6' -Force

Remove-Item : Cannot remove item 
\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6: An unexpected 
network error occurred.
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-Item '\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6'


But this works (no `--force`):

C:\NtUtil>PowerShell.exe Remove-Item -Path 
"\\192.168.240.10\oldserver\Backup\MyDocsBackup\backup6" -Recurse
<no return message and File Manager verifies it is gone>


What the ... ???

Yours in confusion,
-T
