Remove-Item -Force fails with "Access Denied", not without -Force


hi,

i'm not sure right forum, don't hesitate redirect me if that's not case.

i'm experiencing rather odd situation remove-item used against files reside on qnap ts-109ii nas (runs linux flavor , version of samba):

ps //pnjnas/pi/jeedom/backup> remove-item -force .\foo\backup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz  remove-item : cannot remove item \\pnjnas\pi\jeedom\backup\foo\backup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz: access   path denied.  @ line:1 char:1  + remove-item -force .\foo\backup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz  + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~      + categoryinfo          : invalidargument: (\\pnjnas\pi\jee...18-02h00.tar.gz:fileinfo) [remove-item], argum      entexception      + fullyqualifiederrorid : removefilesystemitemargumenterror,microsoft.powershell.commands.removeitemcommand  ps //pnjnas/pi/jeedom/backup> remove-item .\foo\backup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz

when "remove-item -force" fails, "remove-item" works, , deleting other means (windows explorer, or [io.file]::delete('\\pnjnas\pi\jeedom\backup\foo\backup-1.212.0-2015-12-18-02h00.tar.gz') ) works.

any clue?

hi sba923,

sorry late reply.

>>when "remove-item -force" fails, "remove-item" works,

example 3: delete hidden, read-only files ps c:\> remove-item -path c:\test\hidden-ro-file.txt -force command deletes file both hidden , read-only.  uses path parameter specify file. uses force parameter delete it.  without force, cannot delete read-only or hidden files.
