Locate a file - Powershell
Hi all,
I have a user that reported missing one of the files in his "Documents library".
Issue is:
*he doesn't remember full name correctly - only that file ends up with word: "ABC";
*2nd issue is that file is not in any of Recycle Bins (Classic/Modern - 1st/2nd stage);
Is there any chance to locate file with Powershell?
KR,
Dino
- Hi Dino_Vo ,
It's probably impossible to find anything when he doesn't know it for 100%, because powershell only search for 100% files. But you can try out this:
get-childitem -recurse -Path C:\ -name *ABC* -include *.txt
(for sure you can remove the -include or change the file format to fe. .docx etc.)
Best regards,
