Hi All,

Want to delete the GUID named files in your folders?

Here is the simple script that takes the regex for GUID and compares the file name and remove it.

get-childitem |? {$_.basename -match("^(\{){0,1}[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}(\}){0,1}$")} |Remove-Item

if you want to Include subfolders too, use the recurse option like below

get-childitem -Recurse |? {$_.basename -match("^(\{){0,1}[0-9a-fA-F]{8}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{4}\-[0-9a-fA-F]{12}(\}){0,1}$")} |Remove-Item

Note: please test it in lower environments before implementing in production.

Regards,

Chaitanya
