Many thanks Stefan.

Running Clear-RecycleBin -Force requires the user to be impersonated whose recycle bin is being cleared.

This would be a maintenance nightmare as requires each user to have their credentials entered into pulseway client. Then when they change passwords, would need to update.

Could you please raise a ticket for support to see if there is an easy way to auto empty the recycle bin each for users when ever a file has been deleted 7 days or more ago. 

Hi, doing some research from 

 it looks like Pulseway uses the local system account to run and that has very limited privileges.

Is it possible to elevate Pulseway for the current script being run ?

Hi,

I am new to pulseway. Have written the following PowerShell script which works fine on my test machine.

Clear-RecycleBin -Force

However when run from pulse way it reports the script has run successfully but nothing is deleted from the recycle bin.

The following error is shown in execution details:

Clear-RecycleBin : The system cannot find the path specified
At C:\Program Files\Pulseway\automation_b6682084_076f_4d67_80a0_0200e70e0897.ps1:1 char:1
+ Clear-RecycleBin -Force
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (RecycleBin:String) [Clear-RecycleBin], Win32Exception
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : FailedToClearRecycleBin,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.ClearRecycleBinCommand
 

I have tried:

cd \
Clear-RecycleBin -Force

But same results.

Is this a permission issue, that does not allow the script to run ?
