Powershell delete folder

Question

Hi, i need a help with this script

generell viel mehr mit Variablen arbeiten. Also nicht ganze Pfade komplett definieren sondern eher:

[Array] $Services = 'vmicvmsession','vmictimesync','vmicrdv';

$las_path = "D:\LAS"
$tomcat_path = "$las_path\tomcat_"
$log_folder = "D:\LAS\tomcat_\logs"
$temp_folder = "D:\LAS\temp*"
$localhost_folder = "D:\LAS\tomcat_web\work\Catalina\localhost"

loop through each service, if its stopped, delete some folders

foreach($ServiceName in $Services) {

$arrService = Get-Service -Name $ServiceName
while( Get-Service $Services | Where-Object Status -eq 'Stopped') 
{
    Remove-Item 'C:\Users\Ivaylo\Desktop\test123\Neuer Ordner' -Force -Recurse -Verbose

Remove-Item $localhost_folder, $temp_folder -Force -Recurse -Verbose

Get-ChildItem -Path $log_folder -Recurse -include * | Where-Object {$_.LastWriteTime -lt (Get-Date).AddDays(-7)} | Remove-Item -Verbose

    #if ($arrService.Status -eq 'Running')
        #{
         # Write-Host "To delete Logs, Temporary Datas etc. must all serveices be stopped. Please start script Stopservices.ps1 first"
        #}

}

}

The script must Delete a folders, when 3 or more services all are stopped the same time. When one is started, must write this message. -To delete Logs, Temporary Datas etc. must all serveices be stopped. Please start script Stopservices.ps1 first". And this not work for me. Can anybody help me, where i make error?

Answer 1

Is this what you want?
EDIT: changed the conditional statement to use Get-Service

[Array] $Services = 'vmicvmsession', 'vmictimesync', 'vmicrdv';
#loop through each service, if all are stopped, delete some folders
foreach ($ServiceName in $Services) {
    if ( (Get-Service $ServiceName).Status -ne "Stopped"){
        Write-Host "To delete Logs, Temporary Datas etc. must all serveices be stopped. Please start script Stopservices.ps1 first"
        exit
    }
}
# all three services are stopped, okay to continue
Remove-Item 'C:\Users\Ivaylo\Desktop\test123\Neuer Ordner' -Force -Recurse -Verbose

Answer 2

Thank you RichMatheisen for answare,

I tested your script with this 3 Services 'vmicshutdown', 'vmictimesync', 'vmicrdv'. They are stopped. And the answare was:
"To delete Logs, Temporary Datas etc. must all serveices be stopped. Please start script Stopservices.ps1 first".

I want only when all services (never metter how many tgey are) are stopped, to remove the datas. When one service is running and another are stopped to write a message
"To delete Logs, Temporary Datas etc. must all serveices be stopped. Please start script Stopservices.ps1 first"

Thank you again.

Answer 3

You can see, that 3 services are stopped.
