Thank you for sharing @secnnet

Thank you for the codes @mark05e and @secnnet

Secnet - I ran the script you posted (Thank you very much by the way) and received the following error:

• ... e-Error "An error occurred while removing cache files from $path: $_"

Variable reference is not valid. ':' was not followed by a valid variable name character. Consider using ${} to
delimit the name.

• CategoryInfo : ParserError: (:) [], ParseException
• FullyQualifiedErrorId : InvalidVariableReferenceWithDrive

Thoughts?
