Is it possible to remove multiple directories at once on powershell?

If you create multiple directories within each other using Powershell is it possible to remove them all at once? The rmdir command removes them one at a time, but I was wondering if there was a more simple way.

Thank you!

I'm just learning to code through Powershell, so any tips or tricks are appreciated!

If by WITHIN each other you mean directories that all share a common ancestor, you can delete the common ancestor and all descendants recursively:

Remove-Item -Recurse -Force DirectoryToDelete

Note that this can also be done using the rmdir command with the /s switch.
