Today's cmdlet ‣ Remove-Item
Deletes the specified items.

Example's Remarks:
• In the `Get-ChildItem` command, Path has a value of (`*`), which represents the contents of the current folder.
• It uses Include to specify the CSV file type, and it uses Recurse to make the retrieval recursive.
• If you try to specify the file type the path, such as `-Path *.csv`, the cmdlet interprets the subject of the search to be a file that has no child items, and Recurse fails.

Invoke-AKSH and easily manage your local lab
By: Uday Mittal

Having worked on AKSH (my Discord bot) and witnessing how easy it made deploying and managing a lab on AWS, I wanted something similar for my local lab as well. On my local machines I use VMWare Workstation to create and manage virtual labs. Even though it has an intuitive GUI, it lacks a mechanism to perform actions (start, stop, snapshot, revert etc.) on multiple virtual machines via single click (maybe that's where vSphere comes in!). However, to compensate for that, it exposes a command line interface (vmrun.exe) that can aid in automating actions on multiple virtual machines.
