calling rmdir node_modules /S /Q from powershell

Question

Is it possible to call:

rmdir node_modules /S /Q

From powershell. I get the dreaded path too long error with certain folders in powershell. Using rmdir would get round this.

Answer 1

rmdir is a CMD builtin command. You can use it from PowerShell by calling cmd.exe:

& cmd /c rmdir node_modules /s /q
