You can: log in, read the tech support FAQ, or request your lost password. This dumb message (and those ads) will appear on every screen until you register! Get rid of this crap by registering your own SA Forums Account and joining roughly 150,000 Goons, for the one-time price of $9.95! We charge money because it costs us money per month for bills, and since we don't believe in showing ads to our users, we try to make the money back through forum registrations.

Hopefully my epitaph will be funnier than my custom title.
I was trying to use PowerShell to automate deployments. One of the things it had to do was recursively delete a folder and its contents. It randomly would leave dangling files.

The reason? Well, a bug in PowerShell of course!

It's known to Microsoft for quite some time and they even explicitly mention it in the help for Remove-Item!

I must say the rest of PowerShell works quite well, but I'm amazed by the fact that such a bug is in there and acknowledged (but not fixed) like that.
