How to remove AND delete folder from project in NuGet PowerShell install?

Question

I am trying to remove and delete the files from a project during the install PowerShell of a NuGet package. I have the code below that removes it from the project, but I cannot figure out how to pipe that so I can also delete it from disk. How do I do this?

$project.ProjectItems.Item("Test123").Remove() | Select-Object | Get-ChildItem -Recurse | Remove-Item -force -recurse

Hmmm not sure how to debug PowerShell especially if NuGet is triggering it (I'm a newbie to ps) — TruMan1

Looks like instead of calling Remove you should call Delete.

From documentation for Remove

Removes the project item from the collection.

From documentation for Delete emphasis mine

Removes the item from its project and its storage.
