use a like with path of your dir to exclude dir and file

Get-ChildItem "D:\Exclude" -Recurse | where FullName -NotLike "D:\Exclude\Include1\Exclude\*"


#short version
gci "D:\Exclude" -Rec | ? FullName -NotLike "D:\Exclude\Include1\Exclude\*"

Use the .FullName property instead of Directory name, like so.

 dir $path -Recurse  | measure | select Count

Count

    4

PS C:\users\Stephen> dir $path -Recurse  | ?  FullName -ne "R:\Exclude\Include1\Exclude" |
>> measure | select Count

Count
