Initial Code 
Get-ChildItem -Path . -Include Thumbs.db -Recurse -Name -Force | Remove-Item -Force #-WhatIf
Initial URL 

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Description
                                        

                                    

                                    
Powershell 1.0's Remove-Item recursion "doesn't work" according to the help, so you must find all instances with Get_ChildItem then pass the results to Remove-Item.  Use th ecommented -"WhatIf" argument to determine what will be deleted before executing for real.

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Title
                                        

                                    

                                    
Use Powershell to remove all instances of thumbs.db in current tree

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Tags
                                        

                                    

                                    

                                

                                                            

                                    

                                        

                                        Initial Language
