You can also forcefully delete a file or folder using PowerShell:

Remove-Item –path D:\Games\RON –recurse

To forcefully delete a folder, you can use the following command:

rmdir /s folderpath

For example, if I want to forcefully delete D:\Games\RON folder, I’ll run the following command:

rmdir /s D:\Games\RON

This is shown as this file named Stevens Alec. file 0kb size
i cannot get any command in powershell to remove it and because it is empty I cannot remove any of the higher parent files?
the structure is this pc >finished video >kill2 >deep> DCIM >701
in 701 is the empty file named Stevens Alec which I cannot rename or anything.
Any suggestions ?
btw your article is really helpful, thank you, from a old man who has forgotten his dos commands.
