I posted a questionquestion about using the PowerShell rm command. Then, I posted an answer, after making it clear I was also soliciting competing better answers.

My understanding is this fits with the letter and spirit of the FAQ, which says "It’s also OK to ask and answer your own question." I have done this on StackOverflow without issue.

However, in this case my answer was deleted and moved to the question.
