It is not a SAS issue.

x "powershell Clear-RecycleBin -Force";

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.management/clear-recyclebin?view=powershell-7.2

I have not tried to see if the code can be executed remote desktop.

Its works at my pc/laptop if the code like this:
x "powershell Clear-RecycleBin";

If i using "-Force" then nothing happen.. 🤔

The force option skips the confirmation message.
