Solved A PowerShell question

While writing my Win11Cleanup.bat program, I wanted a line of code that would empty out my Recycle Bin.
A most helpful member gave me this line:
PowerShell Clear-RecycleBin -DriveLetter C -force -ErrorAction:Ignore

It works GREAT on the little PC that I'm on now, (Running Windows 11/Pro/64, ver. 22H2, Build 22621.963.)
But, on another PC, that I just put together and installed the same ver. of Win-11 on, (from the same Flash Drive) that same line of code, in the same batch file does not empty the Recycle Bin at all. I see a little flash on the screen when that line executes, but the Recycle Bin is NOT emptied.

So I guess my question is, "What gives?".
Is some 'Service' missing on the second PC?
And what can I do to get that line of code working as it should on the second PC?
Help! Help!

I suggest you run that PS command in a PS window on its own to see what the response is.

I suspect the code came from Option 5 of
Empty Recycle Bin for all users - TenForumsTutorials
and I don't think there's an equivalent ElevenForum tutorial yet.

Best of luck,
Denis

I agree.

I am not conversant in the use of Power Shell. I barely skate by with DOS Batch Files.

But,for that Power Shell command to run in a Batch File, what needs to be present. Something I'm obviously missing?

I've poked, prodded, and twiddled with that batch file, till I finally have it emptying the Recycle Bins, all of them. At least on that one PC.
And that one PC was the only one I was having problems with.
Thanks for all the helps.
