Remove last folder from path

I have folder string

$filefolder = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example\resources"

or

$filefolder = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example\resources\"

I want to get 

$filefolder = "C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example"

My attempts have not helped

You could use a regex with the -replace operator:

"C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example\resources\" -replace "(.*)\\.+\\?$",'$1'
C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example

"C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example\resources" -replace "(.*)\\.+\\?$",'$1'
C:\Users\user\Desktop\solr-4.10.1\solr-4.10.1\example
