PowerShell Get Memory used by a group of processes

Posted on November 21, 2014December 12, 2014 by JohnyLuky

Get the memory usage of a process, grouped, so you get the total. Example; chrome, always have one process per page, use this to get the total of memory used by all of them.

$Processes = get-process chrome,iexplore | Group-Object -Property ProcessName
foreach($Process in $Processes)
{
    $Obj = New-Object psobject
    $Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Name -Value $Process.Name
    $Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Memory -Value ([decimal]::round((($Process.Group|Measure-Object WorkingSet -Sum).Sum)/1024/1024))
    $Obj    
}

$Processes = get-process chrome,iexplore | Group-Object -Property ProcessName

foreach($Process in $Processes)

{

$Obj = New-Object psobject

$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Name -Value $Process.Name

$Obj | Add-Member -MemberType NoteProperty -Name Memory -Value ([decimal]::round((($Process.Group|Measure-Object WorkingSet -Sum).Sum)/1024/1024))

$Obj

}

Suggestions on improvements are welcome, please leave a comment !…

This script will delte everyting in the “Script” folder, sub-folder, and the “-recurse” option will prevent the prompting of confirmation. The “-exclude” option alllows you to exclude files and folders.

Remove-Item c:\scripts\* -recurse -exclude *.wav

Alternative;

$Path = '\\servername\folder'
Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Recurse | Remove-Item -Force -Recurse

1 2	$Path = '\\servername\folder' Get-ChildItem -Path $Path -Recurse \| Remove-Item -Force -Recurse
