How can I exclude multiple folders using Get-ChildItem -exclude?

by

My KISS approach to skip some folders is chaining Get-ChildItem calls. This excludes root level folders but not deeper level folders if that is what you want.

Get-ChildItem -Exclude folder1,folder2 | Get-ChildItem -Recurse | ...
  • Start excluding folders you don’t want
  • Then do the recursive search with non desired folders excluded.

What I like from this approach is that it is simple and easy to remember. If you don’t want to mix folders and files in the first search a filter would be needed.
