You probably retrieve the error within the Get-ChildItem cmdlet. So you should add the parameter there too (-ea 0 is the alias for -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue).

Also the usage of the Foreach-Object cmdlet within your code is obsolete since the Remove-Item cmdlet takes a pipeline object:

Get-ChildItem c:\ -include *.bak -recurse -ea 0 |  Remove-Item -ea 0
