Deletes files and folders.

Description
The Remove-Item cmdlet deletes one or more items. Because it is supported by many providers, it can delete many differe
nt types of items, including files, directories, registry keys, variables, aliases, and functions.

In file system drives, the Remove-Item cmdlet deletes files and folders. 

If you use the Stream dynamic parameter, it deletes the specified alternate data stream, but does not delete the file.
